1-bit Bonsai 4B· o1-pro

Quick Verdict

Pick o1-pro if you want the stronger benchmark profile. 1-bit Bonsai 4B only becomes the better choice if you want the cheaper token bill or you would rather avoid the extra latency and token burn of a reasoning model.

o1-pro 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.

o1-pro's sharpest advantage is in knowledge, where it averages 69.4 against 28.7. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is GPQA, 28.7% to 79%.

o1-pro is also the more expensive model on tokens at $150.00 input / $600.00 output per 1M tokens, versus $0.00 input / $0.00 output per 1M tokens for 1-bit Bonsai 4B. That is roughly Infinityx on output cost alone. o1-pro is the reasoning model in the pair, while 1-bit Bonsai 4B is not. That usually helps on harder chain-of-thought-heavy tests, but it can also mean more latency and more token spend in real use. o1-pro gives you the larger context window at 200K, 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.
