The Challenge

Catch the Air: 5-Minute Fine-Tuning Challenge 

Pneumomediastinum is rare, subtle, and often missed on chest X-rays.  

In this fast-paced AI Foundry challenge, you’ll fine-tune a chest radiography foundation model to detect it in just 5 minutes.  

Adjust your training data and hyperparameters, submit your model, and watch your score climb the live SIIM26 leaderboard.  

Think you can catch what others miss?
