Tempus AI, Inc., a technology company leading the adoption of AI to advance precision medicine, announced the introduction of Tempus Preview, an application providing rapid, clinically significant insights that close the gap between the time of order and delivery of insights. Representing a significant paradigm shift in precision oncology workflows, Tempus Preview offers preliminary results in the critical window between when a diagnostic test is ordered and when final sequencing results are delivered by surfacing key mutation predictions within approximately 24 hours of tissue receipt.
The initial days following an advanced cancer diagnosis are critical for strategic treatment planning, yet clinicians have traditionally been forced to operate in an information vacuum while awaiting comprehensive genomic profiling results. Tempus Preview fundamentally redefines this diagnostic timeline. By combining Tempus’ multimodal data and advanced AI capabilities applied directly to the earliest touchpoints of the laboratory workflow, Tempus equips care teams to access early, clinically significant, information that can help inform complex decisions for patients and shorten the time between receipt of final molecular results and implementation of a personalized treatment plan.
At launch, Tempus Preview will focus exclusively on high-impact biomarkers where early insights can be critical, including:
- Surfacing patients more likely to harbor microsatellite instability (MSI-H), a biomarker linked to improved response to immune checkpoint inhibitors and potential hereditary risk factors, in colorectal, endometrial, prostate, and esophagogastric cancers.
- Predicting EGFR mutations in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), a biomarker that infers response to targeted therapy, but often lacks response to frontline immunotherapy.
- Highlighting increased probability of potential rare, yet clinically significant FGFR fusions in hepatobiliary and bladder cancers, that may indicate potential response to targeted therapy and improved patient prognosis if gene fusions are present.

Shortly thereafter, Tempus Preview will expand to other critical biomarkers.
Tempus Preview’s biomarker predictions are powered by Paige Predict, an advanced AI model that analyzes standard H&E images to provide genomic insights. Paige Predict, trained on millions of slides, has been validated for clinical use as part of Tempus’ laboratory-developed test.
“At Tempus, our unique combination of a diagnostic lab and an advanced data platform enables us to build AI models powered by our unparalleled depth of real-world data,” said Eric Lefkofsky, Founder and CEO of Tempus. “That foundation creates a powerful flywheel: every insight strengthens our models, and every model helps generate more clinically meaningful insights for providers and patients. Tempus Preview brings this intelligence directly into the clinical workflow, delivering early, clinically relevant information within one day of sample receipt, which for many patients can mean the difference in how they are treated. This is our AI flywheel in action: transforming complex information into timely insights, delivered to physicians when they need them most.”
