Researchers have developed EarlyDx, a new benchmark designed to evaluate how well AI models can generate diagnoses from limited, admission-time clinical data. Unlike previous benchmarks, EarlyDx uses free-text notes and supervises diagnoses based on the emergency department encounter rather than the full inpatient course. An LLM auditor verifies the evidence supporting each diagnosis, with evaluations focusing only on fully supported labels. Current models, including specialized medical and general frontier models, struggle to reliably infer diagnoses from admission-time evidence, with zero-shot models performing poorly and even post-trained systems leaving a significant gap in inferential recall.
