Abstract

Robust and trustworthy biomedical question answering (QA) remains a critical challenge for large language models (LLMs), especially in complex domains such as rare diseases, where information is fragmented across multiple sources. MedHopQA 2025 benchmark introduces 10 000 multi-step reasoning questions curated from Wikipedia, requiring systems to extract, connect, and synthesize biomedical knowled…
