Harvey LAB (Legal Agent Benchmark)
Agent works through legal matter files across 24+ practice areas and produces work product. Expert rubric, task passes only if every criterion passes.
All-pass scoring keeps it far from saturated: at launch Opus 4.7 led at 7.1% on Harvey's private holdout. Vals HLAB v1.1 (2026-10-21) top is 27.1% on 120 holdout tasks while per-criterion pass is ~93-96%. Harvey ran its own baselines. Vals now runs the board. Repo keeps a score-impact CHANGELOG so results at two commits can be checked for comparability. Dataset field is a community Harbor port (1,760 tasks, not official).

Labs report scores for 17 models in their cards. We plot every source in the charts below.
The best score, 25.4%, costs $2.09 a task
Runs on the cost frontier score higher than any run that's cheaper. The costs are the leaderboard's own estimates, so compare them only within this benchmark.
6 models have held number one since its release in May 2026
Lab claims count from the day the card came out, independent runs from the model’s release. We draw one row each for the benchmark’s own leaderboard and what labs claim in their cards.
The best score passed 85% in Jul 2026
All the scores we have, one dot each, so a model tested at several settings appears more than once.
6 labs put it in a launch post in the last six months

Versions
We switch the top row to each new version when it comes out. Open it for one row per version. An old version stays in play while people still test it, so whoever first takes it past 85% gets credit for closing it out.
