Abstract Digital pathology poses unique computational challenges, as a standard gigapixel slide may comprise tens of thousands of image tiles 1–3 . Prior models have often resorted to subsampling a small portion of tiles for each slide, thus missing the important slide-level context 4 . Here we present Prov-GigaPath, a whole-slide pathology foundation model pretrained on 1.3 billion 256 × 256 pathology image tiles in 171,189 whole slides from Providence, a large US health network comprising 28 c

Background Large language models (LLMs) have raised both interest and concern in the academic community. They offer the potential for automating literature search and synthesis for systematic reviews but raise concerns regarding their reliability, as the tendency to generate unsupported (hallucinated) content persist. Objective The aim of the study is to assess the performance of LLMs such as ChatGPT and Bard (subsequently rebranded Gemini) to produce references in the context of scientific writ
