Side-by-side benchmark comparison across agentic, coding, multimodal, knowledge, reasoning, and math workflows.
Llama 4 Maverick has the cleaner overall profile here, landing at 26 versus 23. It is a real lead, but still close enough that category-level strengths matter more than the headline number.
Llama 4 Maverick's sharpest advantage is in reasoning, where it averages 42.9 against 21.7. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is SimpleQA, 21.7% to 44%. Grok 3 Mini does hit back in knowledge, so the answer changes if that is the part of the workload you care about most.
Grok 3 Mini is also the more expensive model on tokens at $0.30 input / $0.50 output per 1M tokens, versus $0.00 input / $0.00 output per 1M tokens for Llama 4 Maverick. That is roughly Infinityx on output cost alone. Llama 4 Maverick gives you the larger context window at 1M, compared with 128K for Grok 3 Mini.
Pick Llama 4 Maverick if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Grok 3 Mini only becomes the better choice if knowledge is the priority.
