Vaidya 2.0: Indian AI Breaks Medical Records

On February 19, 2026, Fractal rolled out the Vaidya 2.0 healthcare model. It is claimed that the system scored 50.1 on the complex HealthBench benchmark, beating GPT-5 and Gemini Pro 3.

For now, this is a press release requiring independent verification (peer-review). But if the numbers are true, it's a paradigm shift: a specialized vertical model beats universal giants on their own turf. Medical AI is moving from general advice to the level of clinical reasoning.
