xAI: Grok 3 Mini Beta

xAI: Grok 3 Mini Beta is a unique, lightweight AI model designed for tasks requiring significant reasoning rather than extensive domain knowledge. Unlike traditional models that provide instant answers, Grok 3 Mini employs a 'think before responding' approach, making its internal thought process transparent and accessible. This feature is particularly beneficial for debugging and understanding the model's logic. This model shines in math-specific and quantitative use cases, such as solving challenging puzzles or complex mathematical problems. It offers a context window of 131K tokens and a max output of 4K tokens, supporting both functions and streaming capabilities. Pricing is competitive at $0.30/$0.50 per 1M tokens (input/output), making it an accessible option for various applications. Available on Multi AI at the STARTER access tier. For enhanced reasoning, you can boost its effort setting. While there are two xAI endpoints, Multi AI defaults to the base endpoint; for faster throughput, specify `provider: { sort: throughput}`. Grok 3 Mini Beta is an excellent choice for developers and researchers needing a robust reasoning engine.
