Ministral 3 14B (Reasoning) vs Gemini 1.0 Pro

Side-by-side benchmark comparison across agentic, coding, multimodal, knowledge, reasoning, and math workflows.

Ministral 3 14B (Reasoning) is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 60 to 46. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.

Ministral 3 14B (Reasoning)'s sharpest advantage is in coding, where it averages 35 against 13.1. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is SWE-bench Verified, 39 to 5.

Ministral 3 14B (Reasoning) is the reasoning model in the pair, while Gemini 1.0 Pro is not. That usually helps on harder chain-of-thought-heavy tests, but it can also mean more latency and more token spend in real use. Ministral 3 14B (Reasoning) gives you the larger context window at 128K, compared with 32K for Gemini 1.0 Pro.

Quick Verdict

Pick Ministral 3 14B (Reasoning) if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Gemini 1.0 Pro only becomes the better choice if you would rather avoid the extra latency and token burn of a reasoning model.
