MAST
MAST scores are built from multiple clinical benchmarks. Each one tests a different dimension of how AI models handle real medical scenarios.

Tests whether AI-generated medical recommendations are safe for patients. Built from real clinical consultations across 10 medical specialties, each AI response is reviewed by board-certified specialists for potential harm. This is the foundational safety benchmark of the MAST suite.

Challenging cases measuring probabilistic clinical reasoning under uncertainty. The benchmark uses a Script Concordance Testing methodology, a format that assesses how clinicians adjust their diagnostic or therapeutic judgements in response to new, uncertain information.

Evaluates how well AI agents complete multi-step clinical tasks in a simulated hospital electronic health record. Tasks span ten categories requiring models to search patient data, interpret conditional logic, and carry out actions such as ordering medications or scheduling labs.

Evaluates how accurately AI models interpret chest X-ray images and generate clinically appropriate findings. The benchmark tests both radiology report generation and visual question answering, drawing on a multi-site chest radiograph dataset curated by the Harvard Rajpurkar Lab.
MAST is developed by ARISE, an independent academic research network. No AI company evaluated in our benchmarks has funding, editorial, or methodological influence over our work.
MAST is operated by the ARISE AI Research Network, an independent academic research collaboration. No AI company evaluated in our benchmarks has funding influence, editorial control, or methodological input over our evaluation processes.
Our evaluation schedule, scoring rubrics, and publication timeline are determined by the MAST Steering Committee. Model providers are notified of results only after scoring is finalized, and they have no opportunity to influence or preview findings before publication.

We welcome benchmark submissions via GitHub. All submissions must include a peer-reviewed or pre-print manuscript, a publicly accessible dataset, and reproducible evaluation code. Results should be generated using the official MAST evaluation harness.
Submissions are reviewed by the MAST governance committee for clinical relevance, methodological rigor, and reproducibility. Accepted benchmarks are integrated into the composite score on a quarterly release cycle. See our policies and instructions on GitHub before opening a pull request.
