Winner · 3/8 categories1-bit Bonsai 4B· Sarvam 105B
Pick Sarvam 105B if you want the stronger benchmark profile. 1-bit Bonsai 4B only becomes the better choice if you would rather avoid the extra latency and token burn of a reasoning model.
Sarvam 105B is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 60 to 44. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.
Sarvam 105B's sharpest advantage is in knowledge, where it averages 81.7 against 28.7. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is MATH-500, 65.8% to 98.6%.
Sarvam 105B 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. Sarvam 105B gives you the larger context window at 128K, compared with 32K for 1-bit Bonsai 4B.
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.
