Pathology foundation models hit AUROC 0.90 vs ResNet50's 0.81

From the same TUM study: foundation models clearly beat a ResNet50 baseline (AUROC 0.90 vs 0.81). Averaging the best five models adds little — 0.901 to 0.907 for subtyping — with models selected on the same cross-validation used to evaluate them.
