GigaPath-Flash and GigaTIME-Flash: Efficient Pathology Foundation Models for Whole-Slide and Tumor Microenvironment Analysis
Foundation models have emerged as a driving force in computational pathology, with the potential to transform cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment selection by learning transferable representations from large-scale histopathology data. A growing landscape of pathology foundation models now spans diverse data sources, architectures, and downstream applications. However, most pretrained models operate only at the image-tile level, use restrictive licenses, and remain computationally expensive, limiting large-scale slide-level clinical and research use.
