What is MedQA?

MedQA: Evaluates clinical, biomedical, medical-exam, coding, or healthcare-document reasoning.

Tier A

A

Widely used: a lab reports it, or 50 or more models are scored on it.

How much stands behind a tier: usage, who backs it, a confirmed line from its own site or paper, and a clear read on X. High with three of the four, medium with two, low otherwise.

  • 86 models scored
  • in curated RL directories (2 pts)

On X · unclear, low buzz, from 2 posts about MedQA in the last month

MedQA appears only in passing, cited by one small account as the scoring target for a Bittensor subnet's proposed medical model, with no discussion of the benchmark.

How we got to tier A
  1. Adoption: 86 models scored. Tier A.
  2. On X: unclear, low buzz. “MedQA appears only in passing, cited by one small account as the scoring target for a Bittensor subnet's proposed medical model, with no discussion of the benchmark.” No move.
  3. In curated RL directories: 2 points, a floor of C.
  4. Not yet confirmed by a line from its own site or paper.

A clear view on X moves a tier one step up or down; most entries don't move. How tiers work.

Not on the map yet: no line from its own site or paper places it in a domain.
