Pick 1-bit Bonsai 4B if you want the stronger benchmark profile. DBRX Instruct only becomes the better choice if knowledge is the priority.
1-bit Bonsai 4B has the cleaner overall profile here, landing at 44 versus 41. It is a real lead, but still close enough that category-level strengths matter more than the headline number.
1-bit Bonsai 4B's sharpest advantage is in reasoning, where it averages 41.4 against 36.5. DBRX Instruct does hit back in knowledge, 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.
