Ministral 3 14B vs Seed-2.0-Mini

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

Ministral 3 14B has the cleaner overall profile here, landing at 55 versus 53. It is a real lead, but still close enough that category-level strengths matter more than the headline number.

Ministral 3 14B's sharpest advantage is in coding, where it averages 33 against 24.7. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is SWE-bench Verified, 37 to 22. Seed-2.0-Mini does hit back in multimodal & grounded, so the answer changes if that is the part of the workload you care about most.

Seed-2.0-Mini is also the more expensive model on tokens at $0.10 input / $0.40 output per 1M tokens, versus $0.00 input / $0.00 output per 1M tokens for Ministral 3 14B. That is roughly Infinityx on output cost alone. Seed-2.0-Mini gives you the larger context window at 256K, compared with 128K for Ministral 3 14B.

Quick Verdict

Pick Ministral 3 14B if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Seed-2.0-Mini only becomes the better choice if multimodal & grounded is the priority or you need the larger 256K context window.
