The Public Standard for
Real-World AI Benchmarks
Generic benchmarks only go so far.
Vals AI evaluates models on the
real tasks each industry relies on.
Vals AI runs 30 independent AI benchmarks across legal, finance, healthcare, coding, math, and more. Each leaderboard compares large language models (LLMs) on accuracy, cost, and latency, and each methodology page explains how the benchmark is run.
As of October 2, 2026, Gemini 4 Argon ranks first on the Vals Index with 68.90%, followed by Claude Sonnet 5.5 (67.04%) and Claude Opus 5.5 (66.97%). See the full Vals Index leaderboard.
