Abstract

The rapid developments in artificial intelligence (AI) research in radiology have produced numerous models that are scattered across various platforms and sources, limiting discoverability, reproducibility and clinical translation. Herein, OpenRad was created, a curated, standardized, open-access repository that aggregates radiology AI models and providing details such as the availability of pretrained weights and interactive applications. Retrospective analysis of peer reviewed literature and preprints indexed in PubMed, arXiv and Scopus was performed until Dec 2025 (n = 5239 records). Model records were generated using a locally hosted LLM (gpt-oss:120b), based on the RSNA AI Roadmap JSON schema, and manually verified by ten expert reviewers. Stability of LLM outputs was assessed on 225 randomly selected papers using text similarity metrics. A total of 1694 articles were included after review. Included models span all imaging modalities (CT, MRI, X-ray, US) and radiology subspecialties. Automated extraction demonstrated high stability for structured fields (Levenshtein ratio > 90%), with 78.5% of record edits being characterized as minor during expert review. Statistical analysis of the repository revealed CNN and transformer architectures as dominant, while MRI was the most commonly used modality (in 621 neuroradiology AI models). Research output was mostly concentrated in China and the United States. The OpenRad web interface enables model discovery via keyword search and filters for modality, subspecialty, intended use, verification status and demo availability, alongside live statistics. The community can contribute new models through a dedicated portal. OpenRad contains approx. 1700 open access, curated radiology AI models with standardized metadata, supplemented with analysis of code repositories, thereby creating a comprehensive, searchable resource for the radiology community.

Memory-Free Continual Learning with Null Space Adaptation for Zero-Shot Vision-Language Models

Pre-trained vision-language models (VLMs), such as CLIP, have demonstrated remarkable zero-shot generalization, enabling deployment in a wide range of real-world tasks without additional task-specific training. However, in real deployment scenarios with evolving environments or emerging classes, these models inevitably face distributional shifts and novel tasks. In such contexts, static zero-shot capabilities are insufficient, and there is a growing need for continual learning methods that allow models to adapt over time while avoiding catastrophic forgetting. We introduce NuSA-CL (Null Space Adaptation for Continual Learning), a lightweight memory-free continual learning framework designed to address this challenge. NuSA-CL employs low-rank adaptation and constrains task-specific weight updates to lie within an approximate null space of the model's current parameters. This strategy minimizes interference with previously acquired knowledge, effectively preserving the zero-shot capabilities of the original model. Unlike methods relying on replay buffers or costly distillation, NuSA-CL imposes minimal computational and memory overhead, making it practical for deployment in resource-constrained, real-world continual learning environments. Experiments show that our framework not only effectively preserves zero-shot transfer capabilities but also achieves highly competitive performance on continual learning benchmarks. These results position NuSA-CL as a practical and scalable solution for continually evolving zero-shot VLMs in real-world applications.

VeRA: Renewing Reasoning Benchmarks with Executable Specifications

Reasoning benchmarks need renewal along two axes: freshness and headroom. VeRA makes both executable and auditable by turning each item into a task family: a natural-language template, an input generator, and a deterministic answer program. VeRA-E draws fresh instances within a family; VeRA-H modifies the family toward harder tasks; and VeRA-H Pro selects one judge-ranked candidate from up to five validated proposals per seed. Execution checks, seed anchoring, answer discrimination, and independent human solving validate specifications and items. Accepted programs generate further labeled instances through local computation. Across 16 models, AIME-2024 accuracy decreases from 84.46% on seeds to 70.25% on VeRA-E variants, exposing a gap between fixed-item success and fresh-instance robustness. On AIME-2024-II, the human-audited VeRA-H Pro release lowers accuracy from 84.91% to 58.57%. Across the three hardening sources, H Pro has lower mean accuracy than H. On AMO-Bench, both releases average higher accuracy than the seeds under the evaluated budget. Initial auditing accepts 75.4% of hardened candidates; targeted repair raises usable yield to 95.1%. Executable families thus support repeatable benchmark renewal, with validation improving task quality and selection shaping the delivered challenge.

When can we trust untrusted monitoring? A safety case sketch across collusion strategies

AIs are increasingly being deployed with greater autonomy and capabilities, which increases the risk that a misaligned AI may be able to cause catastrophic harm. Untrusted monitoring -- using one untrusted model to oversee another -- is one approach to reducing risk. Justifying the safety of an untrusted monitoring deployment is challenging because developers cannot safely deploy a misaligned model to test their protocol directly. In this paper, we develop upon existing methods for rigorously demonstrating safety based on pre-deployment testing. We relax assumptions that previous AI control research made about the collusion strategies a misaligned AI might use to subvert untrusted monitoring. We develop a taxonomy covering passive self-recognition, causal collusion (hiding pre-shared signals), acausal collusion (hiding signals via Schelling points), and combined strategies. We create a safety case sketch to clearly present our argument, explicitly state our assumptions, and highlight unsolved challenges. We identify conditions under which passive self-recognition could be a more effective collusion strategy than those studied previously. Our work builds towards more robust evaluations of untrusted monitoring.
