Side-by-side benchmark comparison across agentic, coding, multimodal, knowledge, reasoning, and math workflows.
Grok 3 Mini is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 23 to 19. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.
Grok 3 Mini's sharpest advantage is in knowledge, where it averages 74.1 against 38. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is GPQA, 66.2% to 39%. Qwen3 235B 2507 (Reasoning) does hit back in reasoning, so the answer changes if that is the part of the workload you care about most.
Qwen3 235B 2507 (Reasoning) 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.
Pick Grok 3 Mini if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Qwen3 235B 2507 (Reasoning) only becomes the better choice if reasoning is the priority or you want the stronger reasoning-first profile.
