Taurus harness cuts CT annotation costs by half with LLM review

Researchers at an unnamed lab tested whether an LLM could label CT scans more efficiently when guided by a structured harness (Taurus) versus free-form coding. They compared Taurus to a free-form agent using Claude Opus 5.5 across six public datasets (939 volumes total). The harness’s first version improved results on only two datasets by a negligible margin. However, refining the automated pass…

Key points

  • Taurus harness reduces CT annotation cost to **$1.22 per case**, half of Claude Opus 5.5’s **$2.71**
  • Final version matches free-form agent accuracy on six public datasets (939 volumes total)
  • Most efficiency gains stem from automation, not the LLM’s review step
