Winner · 2/8 categoriesClaude 3 Haiku· Gemma 4 E4B
Pick Gemma 4 E4B if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Claude 3 Haiku only becomes the better choice if reasoning is the priority or you need the larger 200K context window.
Gemma 4 E4B is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 47 to 43. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.
Gemma 4 E4B's sharpest advantage is in coding, where it averages 52 against 18.9. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is BBH, 74% to 33.1%. Claude 3 Haiku does hit back in reasoning, so the answer changes if that is the part of the workload you care about most.
Gemma 4 E4B is the reasoning model in the pair, while Claude 3 Haiku 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. Claude 3 Haiku gives you the larger context window at 200K, compared with 128K for Gemma 4 E4B.
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.
