xAI: Grok 3 Mini Beta

xAI: Grok 3 Mini Beta demonstrates moderate speed performance, ranking in the 29th percentile across benchmarks, and offers moderate pricing, placing it in the 33rd percentile. A standout feature is its exceptional reliability, achieving a 100% success rate across all 7 benchmarks, indicating minimal technical failures. The model excels in several key areas. It achieves perfect accuracy in General Knowledge, Reasoning, and Ethics benchmarks, often being the most accurate model at its price point and speed. Its "thinking before responding" approach, coupled with accessible "thinking" traces, likely contributes to its strong performance in reasoning-heavy tasks. Grok 3 Mini also shows impressive accuracy in Coding (94.0%, 92nd percentile) and effectively mitigates hallucinations (98.0% accuracy). While its Instruction Following accuracy is strong (71.7%, 84th percentile), it's not perfect. The model's primary strength lies in its precision and problem-solving capabilities, particularly in quantitative and logical challenges, making it ideal for tasks requiring deep thought rather than extensive domain knowledge.
