xAI: Grok 3 Mini
A lightweight model that thinks before responding. Fast, smart, and great for logic-based tasks that do not require deep domain knowledge. The raw thinking traces are accessible.
Tool useReasoning
Why it stands out
131K-token context window handles longer documents and multi-turn conversations without truncation.
Combines tool use with reasoning — a strong baseline for agentic and multi-step workflows.
$0.3/M input makes it practical for always-on agents, batch processing, or high-volume classification.
What to watch
Text-only input — image or audio workflows require a separate model in the pipeline.
No benchmark score currently tracked — evaluate using task-specific testing alongside pricing and capability data.
