Vals Index

Independent testVals AI · updated Oct 7, 2026

What it measures

Agentic performance across finance, coding, legal and tax tasks (v2.1), with each sector weighted by its share of U.S. GDP.

How to read it

A proxy for economic usefulness rather than raw intelligence. Vals also publishes the dollar cost of each test, shown alongside the score. Standard error is roughly ±1 point.
