Pick one — models revealed after.Both summaries are AI-generated.\n\nGuideSkill improves macro-average accuracy of LLMs in clinical diagnosis by 13.45% on average without updating the model, and by 18.49% when refined with case data. This enables shipping more accurate clinical diagnosis models without requiring expensive LLM retraining or fine-tuning, directly impacting production deployments that rely on guideline-grounded reasoning.\n\nGuideSkill-Evo raises gold-label diagnostic skill coverage from 56.5% to 99.5% and beats direct LLM inference by 18.49% relative without updating the backbone. For production clinical agents, the useful shift is from retrieving guideline text to executing guideline-derived rules as an external, inspectable scoring layer, which can improve accuracy and coverage while avoiding model fine-tuning and making reasoning paths easier to audit.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/guideskill-boosts-clinical-llm-accuracy-by-18-49-without-model-updates", "canonical_source": "https://www.snipvote.com/story/cms8mbp0y0002nup2lii4cw4u", "published_at": "2026-07-31 07:53:26.808700+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-31 07:53:28.639416+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "large-language-models", "ai-research", "ai-products"], "entities": ["GuideSkill", "GuideSkill-Evo", "arXiv"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/guideskill-boosts-clinical-llm-accuracy-by-18-49-without-model-updates", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/guideskill-boosts-clinical-llm-accuracy-by-18-49-without-model-updates.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/guideskill-boosts-clinical-llm-accuracy-by-18-49-without-model-updates.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/guideskill-boosts-clinical-llm-accuracy-by-18-49-without-model-updates.jsonld"}}
