Pick Granite-4.0-1B if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Llama 4 Maverick only becomes the better choice if multilingual is the priority or you need the larger 1M context window.
Granite-4.0-1B finishes one point ahead overall, 40 to 39. That is enough to call, but not enough to treat as a blowout. This matchup comes down to a few meaningful edges rather than one model dominating the board.
Granite-4.0-1B's sharpest advantage is in instruction following, where it averages 78.5 against 68. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is MGSM, 27.5% to 63%. Llama 4 Maverick does hit back in multilingual, so the answer changes if that is the part of the workload you care about most.
Llama 4 Maverick 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.
