Holo3-35B-A3B· Sarvam 30B

Quick Verdict

Pick Holo3-35B-A3B if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Sarvam 30B only becomes the better choice if you want the cheaper token bill or you want the stronger reasoning-first profile.

Holo3-35B-A3B is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 69 to 48. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.

Holo3-35B-A3B's sharpest advantage is in agentic, where it averages 77.8 against 35.5.

Holo3-35B-A3B is also the more expensive model on tokens at $0.25 input / $1.80 output per 1M tokens, versus $0.00 input / $0.00 output per 1M tokens for Sarvam 30B. That is roughly Infinityx on output cost alone. Sarvam 30B is the reasoning model in the pair, while Holo3-35B-A3B 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.

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.
