Researchers have demonstrated that seemingly minor design choices in how large language models process pathology images significantly impact their performance. By optimizing factors like patch size, magnification, and inference mode, general-purpose LLMs can achieve performance comparable to, or even exceeding, specialized models on benchmarks like MultiPathQA. This optimization, particularly using large patches at lower magnification processed jointly, dramatically improved GPT-5's accuracy and showed similar gains for Gemini 3 Flash without task-specific tuning.
