- Clinicians used OpenEvidence 42 million times in August, more than double December's 18 million.
- Dr. Seelanikio notes the research behind it was already too thin to say whether it improves clinical decisions or merely confirms existing ones — and no new independent evaluation has appeared despite surging usage.
- Anthropic and OpenEvidence will offer a free, locally adapted version to clinicians in 100 lower-income countries, starting with Uganda, Angola, Sudan, Haiti, and Mongolia.
