Llama 4 Behemoth· Sarvam 30B

Quick Verdict

Pick Sarvam 30B if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Llama 4 Behemoth only becomes the better choice if you would rather avoid the extra latency and token burn of a reasoning model.

Sarvam 30B is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 48 to 34. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.

Sarvam 30B's sharpest advantage is in knowledge, where it averages 80 against 37.3. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is HumanEval, 40% to 92.1%.

Sarvam 30B is the reasoning model in the pair, while Llama 4 Behemoth 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. Sarvam 30B gives you the larger context window at 64K, compared with 32K for Llama 4 Behemoth.

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.
