Pick Grok Code Fast 1 if you want the stronger benchmark profile. 1-bit Bonsai 8B only becomes the better choice if instruction following is the priority.
Grok Code Fast 1 is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 56 to 50. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.
Grok Code Fast 1's sharpest advantage is in knowledge, where it averages 49 against 30. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is GPQA, 30% to 63%. 1-bit Bonsai 8B does hit back in instruction following, so the answer changes if that is the part of the workload you care about most.
Grok Code Fast 1 gives you the larger context window at 256K, compared with 64K for 1-bit Bonsai 8B.
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.
