Pick Qwen3.5 397B (Reasoning) if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Granite-4.0-1B only becomes the better choice if you would rather avoid the extra latency and token burn of a reasoning model.
Qwen3.5 397B (Reasoning) is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 77 to 40. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.
Qwen3.5 397B (Reasoning)'s sharpest advantage is in multilingual, where it averages 87.8 against 27.5. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is MGSM, 27.5% to 91%.
Qwen3.5 397B (Reasoning) is the reasoning model in the pair, while Granite-4.0-1B 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.
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.
