DoseBench is a new benchmark consisting of 230 consumer‑style questions about whether a person can safely take another dose of acetaminophen or ibuprofen. The study evaluates eight large language models, finding that overall accuracy ranges from 44.8 % to 62.2 %, but models with similar accuracy can make vastly different dosing decisions, with some incorrectly approving up to 60.5 % of prohibited doses. The authors show that providing more guidance or drug facts can improve accuracy but may also cause models to overlook missing information, underscoring the difficulty of applying safety rules correctly in health QA.

MedRAGChecker is a claim-level verification framework designed for biomedical retrieval‑augmented generation (RAG). It decomposes generated answers into atomic claims and assesses each claim’s support by combining evidence‑grounded natural language inference with biomedical knowledge‑graph consistency signals. The aggregated claim decisions provide diagnostics that distinguish retrieval and generation failures, such as faithfulness, under‑evidence, contradiction, and safety‑critical errors, and the system is distilled into compact models for scalable evaluation.

arXiv:2607. 19678v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: AI-generated answers in high-stakes domains are often fluent but difficult to verify, especially when they contain multi-step reasoning rather than a single final answer.
