How BenchLM shows MATH 500

BenchLM mirrors the public Vals AI MATH 500 leaderboard captured from https://www.vals.ai/benchmarks/math500 and updated by Vals on January 9, 2026. The snapshot preserves overall scores, uncertainty, latency, cost-per-test metadata, and task-level scores where Vals publishes them.

MATH 500 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.

The published MATH 500 snapshot places Gemini 3 Pro Preview first at 96.40%. The third row is 0.40 points behind. The broader top-10 range is 2.20 points, so many of the published results sit in a relatively narrow band.

60 models have been evaluated on MATH 500. The benchmark falls in the External benchmark mirrors category. We keep external benchmark mirrors separate from the weighted global scoring system, so these results remain source-specific evidence. MATH 500 is currently displayed for reference but excluded from the scoring formula, so it does not directly affect overall rankings.
