GPT-5.4 Pro· Sarvam 30B

Quick Verdict

Pick GPT-5.4 Pro if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Sarvam 30B only becomes the better choice if you want the cheaper token bill.

GPT-5.4 Pro is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 92 to 48. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.

GPT-5.4 Pro's sharpest advantage is in coding, where it averages 87.2 against 34. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is BrowseComp, 89.3% to 35.5%.

GPT-5.4 Pro is also the more expensive model on tokens at $30.00 input / $180.00 output per 1M tokens, versus $0.00 input / $0.00 output per 1M tokens for Sarvam 30B. That is roughly Infinityx on output cost alone. GPT-5.4 Pro gives you the larger context window at 1.05M, compared with 64K for Sarvam 30B.

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.
