  1. Do Foundation Models See Biology? Evaluating Attention Coherence with Spatial Transcriptomics in Glioblastoma

    Researchers have developed a new framework to evaluate whether foundation models used in pathology can accurately interpret biological data. This method uses spatial transcriptomics to assess the attention maps of five different pathology foundation models and a ResNet50 baseline. The findings indicate that these models capture complex transcriptional programs rather than individual molecular events, and that different models focus on distinct biological areas. AI

  2. Benchmarking Pathology Foundation Models for Breast Cancer Survival Prediction

    A new study benchmarks pathology foundation models (PFMs) for predicting breast cancer survival using histopathology images. The research evaluated several PFMs across three independent patient cohorts, finding that H-optimus-1 performed best. Second-generation PFMs generally outperformed earlier ones, though performance gains are becoming modest. Notably, a smaller distilled model, H0-mini, achieved better results than its larger counterpart, H-optimus-0, while being significantly more efficient. AI
