How BenchLM shows ReverseEngBench

BenchLM mirrors the public Vals AI ReverseEngBench leaderboard captured from https://www.vals.ai/benchmarks/reverse_eng and updated by Vals on August 10, 2026. The snapshot preserves overall scores, uncertainty, latency, cost-per-test metadata, and task-level scores where Vals publishes them.

ReverseEngBench 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.

The published ReverseEngBench snapshot places GPT-5.6 Sol first at 30.53%. The third row is 26.72 points behind. The broader top-10 range is 30.53 points, so the table still separates the published systems.

5 models have been evaluated on ReverseEngBench. The benchmark falls in the External benchmark mirrors category. We keep external benchmark mirrors separate from the weighted global scoring system, so these results remain source-specific evidence. ReverseEngBench is currently displayed for reference but excluded from the scoring formula, so it does not directly affect overall rankings.

BenchLM mirrors the Vals ReverseEngBench leaderboard as display-only external evidence. Rows combine models with an external agent runner and therefore do not enter weighted model rankings.
