Claude 4.1 Opus· Sarvam 105B

Quick Verdict

Pick Claude 4.1 Opus if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Sarvam 105B only becomes the better choice if knowledge is the priority or you want the stronger reasoning-first profile.

Claude 4.1 Opus has the cleaner overall profile here, landing at 62 versus 60. It is a real lead, but still close enough that category-level strengths matter more than the headline number.

Claude 4.1 Opus's sharpest advantage is in coding, where it averages 50.7 against 45. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is SWE-bench Verified, 74.5% to 45%. Sarvam 105B does hit back in knowledge, so the answer changes if that is the part of the workload you care about most.

Sarvam 105B is the reasoning model in the pair, while Claude 4.1 Opus 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 gives you the larger context window at 200K, compared with 128K for Sarvam 105B.

Decision framing

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.
