How BenchLM shows SEAL Arabic
BenchLM mirrors 19 published rows from Scale Labs’ public SEAL Arabic leaderboard, captured on November 12, 2026 snapshot.
The table is display only. It is useful context for a published agent or model configuration, but it does not enter BenchLM’s overall or category rankings. Scale marked this board deprecated as of March 2025 and no longer adds models.
Snapshot
The published SEAL Arabic snapshot places Gemini 1.5 Pro (August 27, 2024) first at 1147. The third row is 27 score units behind. The broader top-10 range is 122 score units, so the table still separates the published systems.
19 models have been evaluated on SEAL Arabic. The benchmark falls in the Cross-domain category. We keep external benchmark mirrors separate from the weighted global scoring system, so these results remain source-specific evidence. SEAL Arabic is currently displayed for reference but excluded from the scoring formula, so it does not directly affect overall rankings.
