Winner · 3/8 categoriesMoonshot v1· Sarvam 30B
Pick Sarvam 30B if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Moonshot v1 only becomes the better choice if agentic is the priority or you need the larger 128K context window.
Sarvam 30B is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 48 to 43. 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 42.9. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is HumanEval, 45% to 92.1%. Moonshot v1 does hit back in agentic, 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 Moonshot v1 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. Moonshot v1 gives you the larger context window at 128K, compared with 64K for Sarvam 30B.
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.
