Researchers have developed GIANT, a novel approach that enables general-purpose multimodal models to navigate gigapixel pathology images without task-specific training. This method allows models to iteratively select crops at various magnifications and aggregate evidence over time, preserving multi-scale detail. To evaluate GIANT and promote reproducibility, a new benchmark suite called MultiPathQA was introduced, covering five clinical challenges. Utilizing GPT-5, GIANT demonstrated state-of-the-art performance on four out of five MultiPathQA benchmarks, outperforming specialized pathology question-answering models. AI
