About
Vals AI is an enterprise benchmarking and evaluation platform for large language models, founded in 2023 by Stanford researchers in San Francisco. The company runs rigorous, domain-specific benchmarks across finance, law, healthcare, software, and government — evaluating leading models from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and others on real-world business tasks rather than generic academic datasets. Vals AI creates many of its benchmarks in-house with industry experts and publishes the Vals Index, which has become a public standard for measuring real-world AI performance.
