Grok 3 Mini Fast

Reasoning effort

Grok 3 Mini Fast is a SpaceXAI proprietary reasoning model. Its best configuration (high reasoning effort) ranks #263 of 760 on the BenchLeader Index at 53.7 ±1.9, in the upper half. The ± is the point: 276 other configurations score within that range, so they and this one cannot be told apart on quality alone — price and speed are what separate them. It scores highest in maths (57) and lowest in knowledge (54). It has been measured at 2 reasoning-effort settings; this summary describes the best-scoring one, and the tabs above switch between them. Last measured 29 Sept 2026.

Reasoning-effort configurations

The same model behaves differently depending on how much it is allowed to think. Each row is one setting, scored only on the benchmarks that were run at that setting. “Not stated” collects results from publishers that did not say which setting they used; for a reasoning model that is usually its thinking mode, but we do not assume it. Pick a setting here or at the top of the page to see its price, speed and category scores.
