Side-by-side benchmark comparison across agentic, coding, multimodal, knowledge, reasoning, and math workflows.
DeepSeek V3 has the cleaner overall profile here, landing at 25 versus 23. It is a real lead, but still close enough that category-level strengths matter more than the headline number.
DeepSeek V3's sharpest advantage is in mathematics, where it averages 90.2 against 39.7. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is GPQA, 59.1% to 66.2%. Grok 3 Mini does hit back in knowledge, so the answer changes if that is the part of the workload you care about most.
DeepSeek V3 is also the more expensive model on tokens at $0.27 input / $1.10 output per 1M tokens, versus $0.30 input / $0.50 output per 1M tokens for Grok 3 Mini. That is roughly 2.2x on output cost alone.
Pick DeepSeek V3 if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Grok 3 Mini only becomes the better choice if knowledge is the priority or you want the cheaper token bill.
