Context
This AA source field contains the original CritPt score. The earlier CritPt v2 attribution was incorrect; the value and former label remain as disputed historical evidence.. The source dataset marks this result as disputed. It remains visible as documented evidence, but is not reliable comparative proof.

Methodology
Independent evaluation. Vals AI reports 58.33% for the exact Magistral Small 1.2 (09/2025) row. Its method uses the 198-question Diamond subset and describes zero-shot and few-shot CoT prompts, but does not identify which prompt variant produced this leaderboard value.
Context
The profile already contains a separate Mistral-card GPQA Diamond result of 70.07%. This is a separately sourced Vals evaluation, not a replacement; the prompt and reasoning settings are not matched. Vals marks the benchmark archived. The Vals model overview reports ±2.49 as a standard error, not a confidence interval. A metric-specific N and confidence interval are not reported.
