Side-by-side benchmark comparison across agentic, coding, multimodal, knowledge, reasoning, and math workflows.
Gemini 1.0 Pro is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 46 to 32. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.
Gemini 1.0 Pro's sharpest advantage is in multimodal & grounded, where it averages 68.1 against 32.4. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is MMMU-Pro, 73 to 27. Ministral 3 8B does hit back in coding, so the answer changes if that is the part of the workload you care about most.
Ministral 3 8B gives you the larger context window at 128K, compared with 32K for Gemini 1.0 Pro.
Pick Gemini 1.0 Pro if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Ministral 3 8B only becomes the better choice if coding is the priority or you need the larger 128K context window.
