Grok 3 [Beta]· Sarvam 30B

Quick Verdict

Treat this as a split decision. Grok 3 [Beta] makes more sense if coding is the priority or you need the larger 128K context window; Sarvam 30B is the better fit if mathematics is the priority or you want the stronger reasoning-first profile.

Grok 3 [Beta] and Sarvam 30B finish on the same overall score, so this is less about a single winner and more about where the edge shows up. The headline says tie; the benchmark table is where the real choice happens.

Sarvam 30B's sharpest advantage is in agentic, where it averages 35.5 against 35.5. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is HumanEval, 34% to 92.1%. Grok 3 [Beta] does hit back in mathematics, so the answer changes if that is the part of the workload you care about most.

Sarvam 30B is the reasoning model in the pair, while Grok 3 [Beta] 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. Grok 3 [Beta] gives you the larger context window at 128K, compared with 64K for Sarvam 30B.

Decision framing

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.
