Pandemic-Potential Viruses are a Blind Spot for Frontier Open-Source LLMs

2025-12-05

Abstract excerpt

We study large language models (LLMs) for front-line, pre-diagnostic infectious-disease triage, a critically understudied stage in clinical interventions, public health, and biothreat containment. We focus specifically on the operational decision of classifying symptomatic cases as viral vs. non-viral at first clinical contact, a critical decision point for resource allocation, quarantine strategy, and antibioti...
