AI finds cancers with 99% accuracy

Good morning, AI enthusiasts. AI just crossed a critical medical threshold — blowing away human experts with a 99.26% accuracy rate in detecting certain varieties of cancer.

With breakthrough treatments, rapidly evolving patient care, and now near-perfect diagnostic capabilities, AI’s future in stomping out cancer is looking brighter than ever.

In today’s AI rundown:

• Recent AI’s near-perfect cancer detection

• Tencent’s Hunyuan T1 reasoning model

• Create custom AI videos to spice up engagement

• Perplexity’s daring bid to take over TikTok

• 4 recent AI tools & 4 job opportunities

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS

AI RESEARCH

🔬 Recent AI’s near-perfect cancer detection

The Rundown: Researchers just unveiled an AI model called ECgMLP that identifies endometrial cancer with 99.26% accuracy from microscopic tissue images—drastically outperforming human specialists and current automated methods.

The main points:

• ECgMLP uses specialized attention mechanisms to identify cancer cells in microscopic tissue images that doctors might miss during standard evaluation.

• Current human diagnostic methods for endometrial cancer only achieve 78-81% accuracy, far below this model’s accuracy of greater than 99%.

• Researchers also tested its versatility across other cancers, detecting colorectal (98.57%), breast (98.20%), and oral (97.34%) with high accuracy.

Why it matters: Medical diagnostics are undergoing a significant shift, with AI now consistently outperforming humans in life-saving detection tasks. With many cancers being highly treatable when caught early, these models will save quite a lot of lives — and eventually democratize access to expert-level cancer screening worldwide.

TENCENT

🧠 Tencent’s Hunyuan T1 reasoning model

The Rundown: Tencent just released Hunyuan T1, a brand new reasoning model that matches DeepSeek’s R1 in performance and pricing—while tapping the industry’s first hybrid Transformer-Mamba architecture for improved efficiency.

The main points:

• T1 matches or surpasses rivals like DeepSeek R1 and OpenAI’s o1 and GPT 4.5 across benchmarks, excelling especially in math and Chinese language evals.

• Tencent claims the model is the primary to mix Google’s Transformer architecture with Carnegie Mellon and Princeton researchers’ Mamba system.

• The hybrid approach reportedly delivers 2x faster speeds while reducing computing demands, particularly when handling long-text reasoning tasks.

• As for pricing, T1 matches DeepSeek’s competitive rates at 1 yuan ($0.14) per million tokens for input and 4 yuan ($0.55) per million tokens for output.

Why it matters: Between DeepSeek, Tencent, and Alibaba, China’s AI labs have almost completely closed the gap with the U.S. leaders — something that felt extremely far off only a yr ago. With the next-gen R2 also coming soon, China feels closer than ever to officially taking the lead for the world’s top AI models.

PERPLEXITY

🔍 Perplexity’s daring bid to take over TikTok

The Rundown: AI search startup Perplexity just published its proposal to amass TikTok’s U.S. operations, promising to rebuild the platform’s algorithm with transparency and American oversight while integrating its own search tech.

The main points:

• Perplexity plans to reconstruct TikTok’s suggestion system in American data centers, promising full transparency by making the algorithm open-source.

• The corporate would integrate its AI citation capabilities with TikTok videos, enabling users to cross-reference info in real time while watching content.

• Perplexity also proposed enhancing TikTok with Nvidia Dynamo technology to scale suggestion models “100x” while improving inference speed.

• The vision includes cross-platform advantages, with TikTok videos in Perplexity search results, and Perplexity’s information engine powering TikTok searches.

Why it matters: Perplexity has had a wild few years, evolving from an AI search startup to developing its own models, partnering on an AI phone, constructing an AI browser, antagonizing Google in commercials, and now bidding on TikTok. It might be one other publicity stunt, however the ban deadline is April 5 — so we’ll discover soon enough.
