Abstract
Recent advances in digital pathology have demonstrated the effectiveness of
foundation models across diverse applications. In this report, we present
Atlas, a novel vision foundation model based on the RudolfV approach. Our model
was trained on a dataset comprising 1.2 million histopathology whole slide
images, collected from two medical institutions: Mayo Clinic and Charit\'e -
Universt\"atsmedizin Berlin. Comprehensive evaluations show that Atlas achieves
state-of-the-art performance across twenty-one public benchmark datasets, even
though it is neither the largest model by parameter count nor by training
dataset size.
