PathAI Launches PLUTO, a State-of-the-Art Foundation Model
TLDR
- PathAI's PLUTO will give a competitive advantage by driving massive reductions in training and inference costs for AI-powered pathology tools.
- PLUTO, a pathology-centric foundation model, was trained using hundreds of millions of unlabeled image patches across 30+ disease areas, stains, and scanner types.
- PLUTO will enable the development of better diagnostic and prognostic tools, improve patient outcomes, and accelerate drug development for complex diseases.
- PLUTO's embeddings enable prediction of underlying molecular alterations driving cancer, discovery of new biomarkers, and compression of pathology workflows at greater speed.
Impact - Why it Matters
The launch of PLUTO by PathAI represents a significant advancement in AI-powered pathology, with the potential to improve diagnostic and prognostic tools across multiple disease areas. The technology will enable users to compress their pathology workflows using a diverse, multi-resolution foundation model at significantly greater speed and a much broader scale than before. This development has the potential to accelerate drug development for complex diseases and improve patient outcomes.
Summary
PathAI, a global leader in AI-powered pathology, announced the launch of Pathology Universal Transformer (PLUTO), a pathology-centric foundation model, to further differentiate their portfolio of products geared towards biopharma and pathology laboratory customers. PLUTO was developed to enable a wide diversity of pathology tasks, and was trained using hundreds of millions of unlabeled image patches from about 160,000 WSIs across 30+ disease areas, numerous indications, stains, scanner types, and magnification. The model is significantly more compact than previously published models, driving massive reductions in training and inference costs, and enabling highly scalable data generation and product development. PLUTO and its adaptations are set to power PathAI’s best-in-class suite of AI products for diagnostic pathology labs and biopharma use.
