Pick DBRX Instruct if you want the stronger benchmark profile. 1-bit Bonsai 1.7B only becomes the better choice if reasoning is the priority.
DBRX Instruct has the cleaner overall profile here, landing at 41 versus 39. It is a real lead, but still close enough that category-level strengths matter more than the headline number.
DBRX Instruct's sharpest advantage is in knowledge, where it averages 52 against 20.7. 1-bit Bonsai 1.7B does hit back in reasoning, so the answer changes if that is the part of the workload you care about most.
BenchLM keeps the benchmark table and the operator tradeoffs on the same page so a better score does not hide a materially slower, pricier, or smaller-context model.
Runtime metrics show N/A when BenchLM does not have a sourced snapshot for that exact model. The scoring rules and freshness policy are documented on the methodology page.
