1-bit Bonsai 4B· GPT-4 Turbo

Quick Verdict

Pick GPT-4 Turbo if you want the stronger benchmark profile. 1-bit Bonsai 4B only becomes the better choice if mathematics is the priority.

GPT-4 Turbo finishes one point ahead overall, 45 to 44. That is enough to call, but not enough to treat as a blowout. This matchup comes down to a few meaningful edges rather than one model dominating the board.

GPT-4 Turbo's sharpest advantage is in knowledge, where it averages 54.9 against 28.7. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is GPQA, 28.7% to 60%. 1-bit Bonsai 4B does hit back in mathematics, so the answer changes if that is the part of the workload you care about most.

GPT-4 Turbo 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.
