Pick Claude 4.1 Opus Thinking if you want the stronger benchmark profile. LFM2.5-350M only becomes the better choice if you would rather avoid the extra latency and token burn of a reasoning model.
Claude 4.1 Opus Thinking is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 58 to 39. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.
Claude 4.1 Opus Thinking's sharpest advantage is in knowledge, where it averages 49 against 23.8. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is MMLU-Pro, 76% to 20.0%.
Claude 4.1 Opus Thinking is the reasoning model in the pair, while LFM2.5-350M 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 4.1 Opus Thinking gives you the larger context window at 200K, 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.
