eg - GPT-5 beats GPT-4 on factual recall + reasoning (HeadQA, Medbullets, MedCalc).
But then slips on structured queries (EHRSQL), fairness (RaceBias), evidence QA (PubMedQA).
Hallucination resistance better but only modestly.
Latency seems uneven (maybe more testing?) faster on long tasks, slower on short ones.
I wonder if part of the degraded performance is where they think you're going into a dangerous area and they get more and more vague, for example like they demoed on launch day with the fireworks example. It gets very vague when talking about non-abusable prescription drugs for example. I wonder if that sort of nerfing gradient is affecting medical queries.
After seeing some painfully bad results, I'm currently using Grok4 for medical queries with a lot of success.
