Code Migration score table (69 models)
ScoreHow Code Migration is shown here
BenchLM mirrors the public Vals AI Code Migration leaderboard captured from https://www.vals.ai/benchmarks/code-migration and updated by Vals on September 27, 2026. The snapshot preserves overall scores, uncertainty, latency, cost-per-test metadata, and task-level scores where Vals publishes them.
Code Migration 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.
Snapshot
The published Code Migration snapshot places Claude Sonnet 5.5 first at 69.83%. The third row is 3.18 points behind. The broader top-10 range is 22.39 points, so the table still separates the published systems.
69 models have been evaluated on Code Migration. The benchmark falls in the Coding category. We keep external benchmark mirrors separate from the weighted global scoring system, so these results remain source-specific evidence. Code Migration is currently displayed for reference but excluded from the scoring formula, so it does not directly affect overall rankings.
