Comprehensive side-by-side LLM comparison
. Both models have their strengths depending on your specific coding needs.
xAI
Grok 4, released by xAI on July 10, 2025, is a large language model featuring first-principles reasoning and comprehensive multimodal support. It features a 260K token context window and demonstrated strong performance on advanced reasoning and coding benchmarks. Grok 4 targets complex multi-step reasoning tasks, scientific analysis, and agentic workflows via the xAI API.
Mistral AI
Mistral Small 3.1 is a 24-billion-parameter multimodal model from Mistral AI, released in March 2025 as an update to Mistral Small 3 that added vision understanding and expanded the context window from 32K to 128K tokens. The model accepts both text and image inputs, broadening its applicability to document analysis, image-grounded reasoning, and mixed-media workflows without requiring an increase in parameter count. Released under Apache 2.0, it continued Mistral's pattern of incremental capability gains delivered in compact, practically deployable open-weight packages.
