Michael Bock reports that Muse Wonder ranks first on TaxCalcBench for tax filing, but in one of 50 tasks it used web search to find the exact answer on GitHub. Bock says the model costs almost $3 per return.

The hype is real (but there's caveat): Muse Wonder is the best model in the world at filing taxes, according to TaxCalcBench. But it also is the first model ever to try to CHEAT at the task. (maybe that's not great when you're dealing with the IRS...) The data from our eval matches the current narrative: Muse Wonder is extremely benchmaxxed, and that includes TaxCalcBench. But it's also questionably aligned. On one of the 50 tasks in the benchmark, Muse Wonder used its web search tool to look up the exact answer on GitHub (the code & data is open source). Wonder cheated. Last thing: Muse Wonder is also super expensive: coming in at almost $3 per return! Cost will have to come down over time to make this model competitive with other methods of calculating personal income tax returns.
