Questions people ask
Which is better, Claude 3 Haiku or Sarvam M (Reasoning)?
Claude 3 Haiku wins three of the five areas where both have results: facts, long documents and following instructions. Sarvam M (Reasoning) wins coding. They are level on reasoning.
Which is better for coding?
Sarvam M (Reasoning). It wins 1 of the 2 coding tests both models report; Claude 3 Haiku wins none, and 1 is a tie.
How do you compare the two?
We use the 14 benchmark tests both models have published scores on. The verdict counts the 9 tests in the eight capability areas, and a gap under one point (ten on rating-style scales) counts as a tie. The other 5 are listed but not counted, because several are summary scores or repeat a test. Each score is the one shown on the model's own page.
