Comprehensive side-by-side LLM comparison
Grok 3 supports multimodal inputs. Both models have their strengths depending on your specific coding needs.
xAI
Grok 3, released by xAI in February 2025, is a large language model trained on xAI's Colossus supercluster with substantially increased compute over previous generations. It features a 1M token context window, RL-enhanced Think mode for extended reasoning, and demonstrated strong results on mathematics, coding, and scientific benchmarks. Grok 3 targets complex reasoning, real-time information tasks via X platform integration, and agentic workflows via the xAI API.
NVIDIA
Llama-3.1-Nemotron-Ultra-253B-v1 is a 253-billion-parameter model from NVIDIA, derived from Meta's Llama 3.1 405B using neural architecture search (NAS) compression combined with NVIDIA's Nemotron post-training pipeline, which recovers and exceeds the base model's capability after structural compression. Released in April 2025, it supports toggling between a standard instruction mode and an extended reasoning mode via system prompt, allowing the same model to handle both rapid responses and deliberate chain-of-thought tasks. It is the flagship of the Nemotron family, available open-weight on HuggingFace and through NVIDIA NIM for enterprise inference.
