Grok 3 mini Reasoning’s recently launched API has highly compelling Intelligence vs. Price positioning

@xai has recently launched APIs for Grok 3 and Grok 3 mini, after initially only making the models available via the Grok chat interface at launch. We have now completed benchmarking for both Grok 3 and Grok 3 mini.

Grok 3 mini (high reasoning) stands out in the top left of our Intelligence vs Price chart, achieving one of the highest Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index scores ever, with pricing well below even DeepSeek R1.

Grok 3 family overview: We’re initiating coverage of 6 versions of the Grok 3 family: Grok 3, Grok 3 Fast, Grok 3 mini (low reasoning), Grok 3 mini Fast (low reasoning), Grok 3 mini (high reasoning) and Grok 3 mini Fast (high reasoning). Today’s post focuses on our intelligence results; performance breakdown of all 6 versions will be available soon.

Intelligence: As we highlighted at launch, Grok 3 marks xAI’s arrival at the AI frontier. Both Grok 3 mini Reasoning (reasoning effort high) and Grok 3 are amongst the top 5 models in their reasoning and non-reasoning categories respectively. Grok 3 mini Reasoning (high) ranks higher in our Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index than DeepSeek R1 and Claude 3.7 Sonnet (64k reasoning budget).

Pricing: Grok 3 mini Reasoning is almost an order of magnitude cheaper than other models of similar intelligence (o4-mini, Gemini 2.5 Pro) at $0.3/$0.5 per 1M Input/Output tokens for the ‘base’ speed version. xAI are charging $0.6/$4 for the faster Grok 3 mini endpoint. OpenAI’s o4-mini is $1.1/$4.4 and Gemini 2.5 Pro $1.25/$10. Grok 3 is more expensive at $3/$15 per 1M Input/Output tokens.

End to End Latency: Grok 3 offers significantly faster response times compared to Grok 3 mini Reasoning due to ‘thinking’ time. We measure Grok 3 as taking 9.5s to output 500 tokens, and Grok 3 mini Reasoning as taking 27.4s to complete reasoning and output 500 tokens (standard speed endpoints, comparison to Fast endpoints coming soon).

Apple Vision Pro pre-orders begin today! We’re so excited for you to experience spatial computing for the first time!  https://t.co/YAN2kdfZY0

[Tim Cook @tim_cook]

Tomorrow morning, Apple Vision Pro is here!

[Tim Cook @tim_cook]

Seeing people’s reactions to trying Apple Vision Pro for the first time today was wonderful. Some people had tears in their eyes! Our mission is to enrich people’s lives, and I could feel that happening in real time. What a day!

[Casey Neistat @Casey]

the Apple Vision Pro is the most impressive piece of tech ive ever played with. im not sure what i expected but. its like someone from the future came back in time and built the future using only what was available today.

[Tim Cook @tim_cook]

When Apple Vision Pro launches tomorrow, users will be able to explore more than 1 million apps, including 600 apps made specifically for Vision Pro! The creativity of developers is amazing, and this is just the beginning. Endless possibilities await! https://t.co/z5nIByMEd6

@graycrawford Nice idea! Although intuitively I’d want to turn the pawns upside down, as they look like arrows - but in the wrong movement direction. Did you try representing movement only instead?

🧵 @martin_stolz and me published an IOU app in 2010. It was in the App Store until 2020. Now we are open sourcing the original source code from both 2012 and 2020 as a window into historic iOS development.

Below the evolution of our custom UI through the iOS 6 to 7 transition.

[calimarkus @calimarkus]

@martin_stolz We had lots of fun building it. We experimented & learned a lot. And it helped us improve, when we only started our careers. It even made us a few bucks. It's fun to see how much iOS development of today has evolved from the early days.

Enjoy exploring this window into the past.
