Pick Nemotron Ultra 253B if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Granite-4.0-H-350M only becomes the better choice if you would rather avoid the extra latency and token burn of a reasoning model.
Nemotron Ultra 253B is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 41 to 24. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.
Nemotron Ultra 253B's sharpest advantage is in multilingual, where it averages 70.1 against 14.7. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is MGSM, 14.7% to 74%.
Nemotron Ultra 253B is the reasoning model in the pair, while Granite-4.0-H-350M 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.
