Ortet's first health eval: 34 open-weight models, 50 tasks, generic rankings fall short

Ortet released its first health evaluation campaign: 34 open-weight models served and evaluated across 50 tasks and 15 public benchmarks on its Orion NVIDIA Blackwell cluster. Findings: general leaderboards aren't enough for health; open models are competitive on basic medical knowledge and more willing research collaborators; both open and closed models struggle on patient-prediction tasks; more reasoning usually helps but the highest setting doesn't always win; and health rankings can be estimated with a small question subset.
