How they got it

Vals AI runs its own and partner benchmarks through a provider endpoint. The page reports accuracy with error bars and rankings; benchmark methods sit on separate pages not read here.

Limits

  • No Meta announcement was found; parameter counts and licence terms circulating elsewhere are unconfirmed.
  • One provider and one setting; scores may differ under other configurations.
  • A listing page, not an analysis.

Why it matters for companies

For firms weighing open weights for internal deployment, the page shows the usual pattern: competitive on a narrow domain task, well behind closed models on general and agentic coding work. Check the licence before any commercial use, and test on your own tasks rather than relying on a single index rank.
