Side-by-side benchmark comparison across agentic, coding, multimodal, knowledge, reasoning, and math workflows.
GPT-4 Turbo is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 47 to 31. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.
GPT-4 Turbo's sharpest advantage is in reasoning, where it averages 61 against 35.3. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is HumanEval, 52 to 16.
Ministral 3 3B (Reasoning) is the reasoning model in the pair, while GPT-4 Turbo 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.
Pick GPT-4 Turbo if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Ministral 3 3B (Reasoning) only becomes the better choice if you want the stronger reasoning-first profile.
