Pick 1-bit Bonsai 8B if you want the stronger benchmark profile. LFM2.5-350M only becomes the better choice if its workflow or ecosystem matters more than the raw scoreboard.
1-bit Bonsai 8B is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 50 to 39. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.
1-bit Bonsai 8B's sharpest advantage is in knowledge, where it averages 30 against 23.8. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is IFEval, 79.8% to 77.0%.
1-bit Bonsai 8B gives you the larger context window at 64K, compared with 32K for LFM2.5-350M.
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.
