MedRealMM: A Real-World Multimodal Benchmark for Chinese Online Medical Consultation

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in online medical consultation, yet existing benchmarks remain poorly aligned with real clinical practice. Many rely on synthetic conversations or patient simulators, omit patient-uploaded medical images, or evaluate open-ended clinical responses using multiple-choice or lexical-overlap metrics that poorly reflect clinical quality. We introduce \textbf{MedRealMM}, a large-scale benchmark for multimodal online medical consultation built from de-identified patient-doctor interactions collected from a nationwide Chinese internet hospital. MedRealMM uses a Multimodal Clinical Challenge Point (MCCP) extraction framework to identify clinically demanding moments in authentic consultation trajectories and converts each into a standardized next-response generation task while preserving the preceding text-image context. Each instance is paired with a case-specific rubric refined by physicians that rewards clinically desirable behaviors and penalizes unsafe, unsupported, or contradictory responses. The current release contains 5,620 real-world multimodal cases spanning 64 clinical departments. We evaluate 19 general-purpose and medical-specialized LLMs, including text-only and multimodal systems. Our results show that image information is critical for reliable clinical performance and that current frontier models remain below the online physician response. Although some frontier models satisfy as many or more positive clinical criteria than physicians, they trigger more negative criteria, indicating that safety-sensitive error avoidance remains a central bottleneck. MedRealMM offers a realistic and reproducible benchmark for evaluating multimodal medical reasoning in real-world online consultation. The dataset will be publicly available on Hugging Face at https://huggingface.co/datasets/jdh-algo/MedRealMM.

MedBench v5: A Dynamic, Process-Oriented, and Hallucination-Aware Benchmark for Clinical Multimodal Models

Existing medical AI benchmarks lack process visibility, atomic skill evaluation, and integrated hallucination detection. We introduce MedBench v5, a redesigned benchmark for clinical multimodal models (language, vision-language, and agent systems) that moves from static QA to dynamic, process-oriented evaluation. MedBench v5 features: (1) a dual-dimensional framework combining Clinical Cognitive Responsiveness (13 sub-dimensions) and Medical Atomic Skills (4 agent environments), covering 63 tasks; (2) three switchable information-flow stressors (omission, contradiction, evidence delay) for factorized degradation analysis; (3) a dynamic process audit protocol with five reasoning nodes that produces model-specific failure fingerprints; (4) hallucination propagation monitoring across initiation, propagation, anchoring, and contradiction interaction-capturing silent hallucination. Experiments on frontier models show that strong overall task performance does not guarantee process stability: stressors mainly disrupt contradiction detection, diagnosis updating, hallucination propagation, and contradiction-based self-correction, while final evidence grounding can remain superficially stable. MedBench v5 provides a unified infrastructure for capability profiling, controllable stress testing, process auditing, and hallucination trajectory analysis in clinical AI evaluation.

Beyond Knowledge to Agency: Evaluating Expertise, Autonomy, and Integrity in Finance with CNFinBench

As large language models (LLMs) become high-privilege agents in risk-sensitive settings, they introduce systemic threats beyond hallucination, where minor compliance errors can cause critical data leaks. However, existing benchmarks focus on rule-based QA, lacking agentic execution modeling, overlooking compliance drift in adversarial interactions, and relying on binary safety metrics that fail to capture behavioral degradation. To bridge these gaps, we present CNFinBench, a comprehensive benchmark spanning 29 subtasks grounded in the triad of expertise, autonomy, and integrity. It assesses domain-specific capabilities through certified regulatory corpora and professional financial tasks, reconstructs end-to-end agent workflows from requirement parsing to tool verification, and simulates multi-turn adversarial attacks that induce behavioral compliance drift. To quantify safety degradation, we introduce the Harmful Instruction Compliance Score (HICS), a multi-dimensional safety metric that integrates risk-type-specific deductions, multi-turn consistency tracking, and severity-adjusted penalty scaling based on fine-grained violation triggers. Evaluations over 22 open-/closed-source models reveal: LLMs perform well in applied tasks yet lack robust rule understanding, suffer a 15.4 decline from single modules to full execution chains, and collapse rapidly in multi-turn attacks, with average violations surging by 159.05\% in Round 2. CNFinBench is available at https://cnfinbench.opencompass.org.cn and https://github.com/open-compass/CNFinBench.

MedBench v4: A Robust and Scalable Benchmark for Evaluating Chinese Medical Language Models, Multimodal Models, and Intelligent Agents

Recent advances in medical large language models (LLMs), multimodal models, and agents demand evaluation frameworks that reflect real clinical workflows and safety constraints. We present MedBench v4, a nationwide, cloud-based benchmarking infrastructure comprising over 700,000 expert-curated tasks spanning 24 primary and 91 secondary specialties, with dedicated tracks for LLMs, multimodal models, and agents. Items undergo multi-stage refinement and multi-round review by clinicians from more than 500 institutions, and open-ended responses are scored by an LLM-as-a-judge calibrated to human ratings. We evaluate 15 frontier models. Base LLMs reach a mean overall score of 54.1/100 (best: Claude Sonnet 4.5, 62.5/100), but safety and ethics remain low (18.4/100). Multimodal models perform worse overall (mean 47.5/100; best: GPT-5, 54.9/100), with solid perception yet weaker cross-modal reasoning. Agents built on the same backbones substantially improve end-to-end performance (mean 79.8/100), with Claude Sonnet 4.5-based agents achieving up to 85.3/100 overall and 88.9/100 on safety tasks. MedBench v4 thus reveals persisting gaps in multimodal reasoning and safety for base models, while showing that governance-aware agentic orchestration can markedly enhance benchmarked clinical readiness without sacrificing capability. By aligning tasks with Chinese clinical guidelines and regulatory priorities, the platform offers a practical reference for hospitals, developers, and policymakers auditing medical AI.

AG-CRC: Anatomy-Guided Colorectal Cancer Segmentation in CT with Imperfect Anatomical Knowledge

When delineating lesions from medical images, a human expert can always keep in mind the anatomical structure behind the voxels. However, although high-quality (though not perfect) anatomical information can be retrieved from computed tomography (CT) scans with modern deep learning algorithms, it is still an open problem how these automatically generated organ masks can assist in addressing challenging lesion segmentation tasks, such as the segmentation of colorectal cancer (CRC). In this paper, we develop a novel Anatomy-Guided segmentation framework to exploit the auto-generated organ masks to aid CRC segmentation from CT, namely AG-CRC. First, we obtain multi-organ segmentation (MOS) masks with existing MOS models (e.g., TotalSegmentor) and further derive a more robust organ of interest (OOI) mask that may cover most of the colon-rectum and CRC voxels. Then, we propose an anatomy-guided training patch sampling strategy by optimizing a heuristic gain function that considers both the proximity of important regions (e.g., the tumor or organs of interest) and sample diversity. Third, we design a novel self-supervised learning scheme inspired by the topology of tubular organs like the colon to boost the model performance further. Finally, we employ a masked loss scheme to guide the model to focus solely on the essential learning region. We extensively evaluate the proposed method on two CRC segmentation datasets, where substantial performance improvement (5% to 9% in Dice) is achieved over current state-of-the-art medical image segmentation models, and the ablation studies further evidence the efficacy of every proposed component.
