GPT-5.4 vs Grok 3 Mini

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

GPT-5.4 is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 70 to 23. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.

GPT-5.4's sharpest advantage is in reasoning, where it averages 95.3 against 21.7. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is SimpleQA, 97% to 21.7%.

GPT-5.4 is also the more expensive model on tokens at $2.50 input / $15.00 output per 1M tokens, versus $0.30 input / $0.50 output per 1M tokens for Grok 3 Mini. That is roughly 30.0x on output cost alone. GPT-5.4 is the reasoning model in the pair, while Grok 3 Mini 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. GPT-5.4 gives you the larger context window at 1.05M, compared with 128K for Grok 3 Mini.

Quick Verdict

Pick GPT-5.4 if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Grok 3 Mini only becomes the better choice if you want the cheaper token bill or you would rather avoid the extra latency and token burn of a reasoning model.
