Why do you think you're right?
Updating based on passage of time and new employment information

Why might you be wrong?
I think it’s unlikely to change significantly in the next month, but if a major event occurs that effects multiple countries I could be wrong

Quitting this question due to methodology changes. As it stands, this question is closer to forecasting the next benchmark update than it is of forecasting llm capabilities.

Why do you think you're right?
It’s currently at 495 with the weekend ahead before the month ends. Breeches are lower over the weekends so I don’t expect it to rise 55 more in the next three days
Files
Why might you be wrong?
It’s possible it spikes today and coasts the rest of the weekend to 550+

Why do you think you're right?
March 31st is ~4 months from now. Based on this overview (table 1), new medical devices are automatically evaluated as class III devices and would typically undergo the pre-market approval (PMA) or, if it has a predicate technology (the FDA has approved several devices for detecting contrast agents in CT scans) the device can go through the pre-market notification (PMN) process. If LLM-medical devices go through the PMA process, I think it is very unlikely to be approved by March 31st since it would need to obtain an IDE (which alone can take 3-6 months) and IRB approval, and then go through the review process which can take 180 days. If it goes through the PMN process, it could be within the ~4 month timeline (especially if it has already been filed at the time of writing).
Additionally, in April there were mass layoffs at the FDA that are expected to impact devices in development. I anticipate the combination of reduced FDA capacity, and the potential for LLM hallucination will result in a PMN process and approval timelines beyond March 2026.
Why might you be wrong?
It's very possible that there are devices being reviewed currently that are close to approval already. The FDA doesn't have public data on the current devices they are reviewing, so it's possible the event could happen at any given point over the course of the time frame.
