What’s going on: A new AI model, ECgMLP, developed by an international team of researchers from Charles Darwin University in Australia, demonstrates exceptional accuracy in diagnosing endometrial cancer from microscopic images, achieving a 99.26 percent success rate. This surpasses both existing AI methods and human experts, who typically achieve accuracy rates between 79 and 81 percent.

What does it mean: ECgMLP enhances image quality and identifies early cancer signs that are often missed by the human eye, making it a practical tool for clinical use due to its computational efficiency and ability to generalize across multiple datasets. This model could become a valuable asset in oncology, supporting faster and more precise early detection across various cancer types. The researchers emphasize that it’s designed to complement, not replace, medical professionals, aiding specialists in spotting diseases and monitoring treatment outcomes effectively.

More details: 

• Beyond endometrial cancer, this model shows promise for broader applications, accurately diagnosing colorectal cancer at 98.57%, breast cancer at 98.20%, and oral cancer at 97.34%.

• Currently, over 600,000 Americans are affected by endometrial cancer (a type of cancer that begins as a growth of cells in the uterus), and the the need for improved diagnostics is more than ever.

What’s going on: DeepSeek, Chinese controversial AI startup, has released DeepSeek-V3-0324, a new 685-billion-parameter model that runs at over 20 tokens per second on an Apple Mac Studio with an M3 Ultra chip, drawing less than 200 watts. This efficiency challenges the resource-heavy, cloud-based models from companies like OpenAI, which rely on Nvidia GPUs consuming kilowatts of power.

What does it mean: This release threatens OpenAI’s business model, which depends on centralized, subscription-based access, as DeepSeek’s approach democratizes high-performance AI. The model’s 352GB 4-bit quantized version fits on a Mac Studio, offering a practical alternative to the GPU farms of US companies. While OpenAI and Anthropic restrict access, DeepSeek’s open-source strategy aligns with a growing trend among Chinese AI firms, potentially shifting the industry toward more accessible, efficient solutions.

More details: 

• The model, open-source and freely available on Hugging Face, uses innovations like Multi-Head Latent Attention and Multi-Token Prediction to boost speed by nearly 80 percent, making it viable on consumer hardware.

• According to DeepSeek’s recent post on X, this new model has shown a major boost in reasoning performance, stronger front-end development skills, and smarter tool-use capabilities.
