The index is calculated from published results alone: a model’s weighted average over the boards it has results on, times a confidence multiplier that is full from six boards. Each column of dots is one point out of 100. The pips are the ten boards, numbered 01 to 10; point at a board to light its pips.Each row of dots in a column is one point out of 100. The ten boards are numbered 01 to 10; point at a board to see which models have a result on it.

The ten boards

Each board is read on its own scale from 0 to 100. These are the weights and notes used in this snapshot.

How to read the index

Start with the weighted average over the boards a model has results on. Multiply that average by a confidence multiplier. The multiplier is full from six boards. Below six, divide the number of boards by six, then take the square root.

Coverage matters: models can have results on different boards. Read the index alongside that coverage and the conditions of each published result.

HOB publishes separate subject-suite and incretin evidence rankings. The snapshot above covers evidence-synthesis questions about incretin therapeutics. The subject-suite ranking uses a separate task set and scores.

The open-source harness and public sample let you inspect the tasks, rubric criteria and reference responses. A sample run is not expected to reproduce a full leaderboard score exactly.

Clinical Reasoning Bench

In development

What was known at each decision

The benchmark is designed to examine decisions as information becomes available, including predictions recorded before test results are revealed.

The method follows an initial differential, findings and orders, expected test results, then a final diagnosis and plan. Results are designed to remain sealed until expectations are recorded. An early reveal can be recorded with its reason.

In development

Clinical Conversations Bench

Designed to test how a model asks relevant questions and offers a clear next step in a health conversation, with plain language and reasons for its answer.

Evaluation at follow-up

Designed to score a model against the outcome at follow-up, keeping what was predicted during the visit distinct from evidence obtained later.

Multilingual clinical speech

Designed to compare machine transcription and translation with a human reference, checking clinical facts, speaker attribution, omissions and invented facts.
