Grok Code Fast 1· Sarvam 30B

Quick Verdict

Pick Grok Code Fast 1 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 Code Fast 1 is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 56 to 48. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.

Grok Code Fast 1's sharpest advantage is in coding, where it averages 63.3 against 34. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is SWE-bench Verified, 70.8% to 34%. 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 Code Fast 1 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 Code Fast 1 gives you the larger context window at 256K, 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.
