Grok 3 Mini

Grok 3 Mini is a streamlined version of xAI's Grok 3 AI model, designed for quicker response times while maintaining utility. It's tailored for users who require speed over the comprehensive capabilities of the full Grok 3 model, making it suitable for tasks where rapid information retrieval is key. Grok 3 Mini still leverages the advanced training and data that Grok 3 was built on but offers a lighter, more efficient version for everyday use.

Updated Aug 10, 2026. Default version: Grok-3 Mini
