Side-by-side benchmark comparison across agentic, coding, multimodal, knowledge, reasoning, and math workflows.
Grok 4 is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 66 to 60. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.
Grok 4's sharpest advantage is in knowledge, where it averages 63.8 against 52.1. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is HumanEval, 79 to 62. Ministral 3 14B (Reasoning) does hit back in agentic, so the answer changes if that is the part of the workload you care about most.
Ministral 3 14B (Reasoning) is the reasoning model in the pair, while Grok 4 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 4 if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Ministral 3 14B (Reasoning) only becomes the better choice if agentic is the priority or you want the stronger reasoning-first profile.
