Vals AI
Independent, third-party evaluation of language models on domain-specific professional tasks in law, tax, finance and other regulated fields.
Vals AI is an independent evaluation company that tests large language models on domain-specific professional tasks — principally in law, tax and finance — and publishes the results as public leaderboards. It was founded in 2023 by Rayan Krishnan and Langston Nashold, who left a Stanford master's programme to build it, and is backed by Sequoia Capital and Bloomberg Beta. It positions itself as a third-party benchmarker for enterprises weighing which model to deploy on regulated, high-stakes work.
