1-bit Bonsai 4B· GLM-4.5

Quick Verdict

Pick 1-bit Bonsai 4B if you want the stronger benchmark profile. GLM-4.5 only becomes the better choice if reasoning is the priority or you need the larger 128K context window.

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 mathematics, where it averages 65.8 against 42.1. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is MATH-500, 65.8% to 57%. GLM-4.5 does hit back in reasoning, so the answer changes if that is the part of the workload you care about most.

GLM-4.5 gives you the larger context window at 128K, compared with 32K for 1-bit Bonsai 4B.

Decision framing

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.
