Microsoft’s new AI system, the Diagnostic Orchestrator, achieved diagnostic accuracy of about 83 % on cases from The New England Journal of Medicine, compared with roughly 36 % for generalist physicians using references and 22 % for those working without them. On emergency‑department cases from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, the AI scored 80 % accuracy versus an average of 47 % for human physicians. The system, powered by OpenAI’s GPT‑5 and built on Microsoft’s SDBench benchmark, also reached diagnoses at a lower estimated cost than human counterparts. The findings were published Thursday in Science. Microsoft says the technology still requires further development before wide deployment.

Harry Brook scored two hundred and two runs in England’s ODI against Sri Lanka, becoming the first Englishman to hit a double‑hundred in the format. The innings, completed in one hundred fourteen balls, was the fastest double ton in ODI history, surpassing Shubman Gill’s record.

He joined Chris Gayle’s exclusive club by completing a hundred in a T20, a double‑hundred in an ODI and a triple‑century in a Test. Despite the personal milestone, England lost the match to Sri Lanka, who chased 430, the second‑highest run‑chase in ODI history.
