Questions people ask

Which is better, GPT-4o mini or Grok 2?

Grok 2 wins two of the three areas where both have results: coding and images and charts. GPT-4o mini wins none. They are level on reasoning.

Which is better for coding?

Grok 2. It wins the one coding test both models report.

How do you compare the two?

We use the 8 benchmark tests both models have published scores on. The verdict counts the 5 tests in the eight capability areas, and a gap under one point (ten on rating-style scales) counts as a tie. The other 3 are listed but not counted, because several are summary scores or repeat a test. Each score is the one shown on the model's own page.
