Decade-old CNN outperforms frontier LLMs at skin cancer diagnosis

A convolutional neural network first developed roughly ten years ago is reported to beat today's frontier large language models at diagnosing skin cancer, according to an analysis published by the Lynch Lab. The finding is drawing attention because it challenges the assumption that newer, larger general-purpose models automatically outperform older specialised medical AI tools.

Why now: It challenges the assumption that newer frontier LLMs beat older specialised AI in medicine.
