Vals Index v1
Vals AI's first index of agentic work in finance, law and coding, with each sector weighted by its share of U.S. GDP.
Versions 1.0 to 1.2 ran from October 2025 to 12 August 2026. Until May 2026 it combined CorpFin, Finance Agent, CaseLaw, SWE-bench Verified and Terminal-Bench 2.0. In May 2026 Vals dropped the law sector, added Vibe Code Bench, moved to Finance Agent v2 and to Terminal-Bench 2.1. The archived v1.2 is (2.0 × finance + 1.4 × coding) / 3.4.

Kimi K3 leads with 74.7%
Best score per model as labs report them in their own cards. Labs pick their own settings, so these compare less cleanly than independent runs.

Scores over time
All the scores we have, one dot each, so a model tested at several settings appears more than once.
Labs report it only in system cards
We read the headline results of 479 launch posts from 51 labs, and none of them list this benchmark. Some system cards do, below.
One system card reports it
Besides launch posts, we read the system cards, model cards and technical reports labs publish with a release. They report far more, including safety and frontier-risk tests.
