Pick GPT-5 (high) if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Sarvam 30B only becomes the better choice if knowledge is the priority.
GPT-5 (high) is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 82 to 48. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.
GPT-5 (high)'s sharpest advantage is in agentic, where it averages 75.2 against 35.5. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is BrowseComp, 75% to 35.5%. Sarvam 30B does hit back in knowledge, so the answer changes if that is the part of the workload you care about most.
GPT-5 (high) gives you the larger context window at 128K, compared with 64K for Sarvam 30B.
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.
