Grok 4.1 Fast· Sarvam 30B

Quick Verdict

Pick Grok 4.1 Fast if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Sarvam 30B only becomes the better choice if knowledge is the priority or you want the stronger reasoning-first profile.

Grok 4.1 Fast is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 70 to 48. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.

Grok 4.1 Fast's sharpest advantage is in agentic, where it averages 71 against 35.5. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is BrowseComp, 73% to 35.5%. Sarvam 30B does hit back in knowledge, 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 4.1 Fast 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 4.1 Fast gives you the larger context window at 1M, 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.
