Pick Grok 4.1 if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Granite-4.0-1B only becomes the better choice if you want the cheaper token bill.
Grok 4.1 is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 91 to 40. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.
Grok 4.1's sharpest advantage is in knowledge, where it averages 94.1 against 31.7. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is GPQA, 29.7% to 97%.
Grok 4.1 is also the more expensive model on tokens at $3.00 input / $15.00 output per 1M tokens, versus $0.00 input / $0.00 output per 1M tokens for Granite-4.0-1B. That is roughly Infinityx on output cost alone. Grok 4.1 gives you the larger context window at 1M, compared with 128K for Granite-4.0-1B.
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.
