Sophont presents OpenMidnight, a replication and improvement of the Midnight pathology foundation model, that achieves state-of-the-art performance across multiple benchmarks while being trained on just 12,000 whole-slide images for only $1.6K. They demonstrate that foundation models for computational pathology do not require massive scale to achieve top performance, and they release the full training pipeline, code, and model weights to accelerate research in this field….
