Data verifiedHow BenchLM shows TaxEval v2
BenchLM mirrors the public Vals AI TaxEval v2 leaderboard captured from https://www.vals.ai/benchmarks/tax_eval_v2 and updated by Vals on July 17, 2026. The snapshot preserves overall scores, uncertainty, latency, cost-per-test metadata, and task-level scores where Vals publishes them.
TaxEval v2 is display only on BenchLM. Vals proprietary or Vals-hosted aggregate views are useful context, but BenchLM does not use them as weighted ranking inputs or as a replacement for benchmark-native source records.
