Medical Knowledge
August delivers clinical responses validated against the same rigorous standards used in physician training and medical licensure, ensuring professional-grade accuracy in healthcare information delivery.
August achieves 97% accuracy on MedQA, 12,000+ authentic medical licensing questions, outperforming general-purpose models through specialized clinical architecture.
USMLE Performance
The United States Medical Licensing Examination is the test every doctor must pass before they can practice medicine in United States. It's the gold standard for medical knowledge.
August achieves 100% accuracy on the USMLE, compared to 60% first-attempt pass rates for human medical graduates, demonstrating the same qualification on diagnosis, treatment, and medical decision-making that separates qualified doctors from everyone else.
MedQA Benchmark
A collection of 12,000+ real medical board exam questions from the US, China, and Taiwan, covering everything from rare diseases to common conditions, diagnostic reasoning to treatment plans.
August outperforms GPT-5 by +1.5 pp and Gemini by +4.2 pp because August has been tested on thousands of real-world medical scenarios. August doesn't guess, and it has been validated against the same questions doctors use to get licensed.
MMLU Clinical Benchmarks
A comprehensive test across six medical specialties: anatomy, genetics, clinical knowledge, professional medicine, college biology, and college medicine.
August maintains 94% accuracy across all clinical categories because your health questions don't fit into neat boxes. So whether your question is about your thyroid, your genes, or your child's development, you get the same level of reliability.
Conversational Diagnostics
Most benchmarks test whether an AI can select the right answer from a list, rather than converse with a patient, ask the right questions, and reach a diagnosis the way a doctor does. We developed an in-house methodology to evaluate this across 400 clinical vignettes spanning 14 medical specialties—a peer-reviewed framework that simulates real clinical conversations.
August achieves 87% diagnostic accuracy in multi-turn clinical conversations, +21 pp over GPT-5, and 97% triage accuracy, ensuring patients are routed to the right level of care. Evaluated using our proprietary in-house methodology, this isn't a multiple-choice test—this is diagnosis through conversation.
Unlike static multiple-choice benchmarks, this evaluation uses our proprietary in-house methodology featuring multi-turn conversations where the AI must gather information through questions, just like a real clinical encounter. August reaches the correct diagnosis in 47% fewer questions than competitors (16 vs 29 on average), demonstrating both accuracy and efficiency. This in-house methodology has been peer-reviewed and published at arXiv:2412.12538.
Document Processing
Processing and interpreting clinical documentation including laboratory reports, prescriptions, and discharge summaries, with demonstrated capability is essential in both printed and handwritten medical documents. Evaluated using our in-house benchmark methodology.
Using our in-house benchmark methodology, August achieves 82% accuracy on handwritten prescriptions versus 49% for competitors, and 99% accuracy on laboratory reports. August translates medical jargon into plain language and helps you understand what your doctor is recommending.
Safety By Design
The ability to correctly identify when symptoms need immediate medical attention versus when they can wait for a regular appointment. Measured using our proprietary in-house emergency escalation benchmark.
Using our proprietary in-house emergency escalation benchmark, August achieves 100% recall and 100% precision in emergency identification, while other LLMs average 28% precision. Meaning 7 out of 10 times they tell you it's an emergency, it's not. August gets it right 10 out of 10 times.
