BenchLM currently stores provider-run WMT26 evaluations. Cohere's September 2026 run covers 50+ languages with GPT-5.6 Sol as the judge on a 0-100 scale, where 80-100 means perfect or minor errors. Because the judge, language set, and prompts are provider-chosen, rows stay display-only and are not directly comparable to official WMT human evaluations.
