Grok 3 Mini Beta

by xAI

Grok 3 Mini Beta is an early-stage variant of xAI's Grok 3 Mini reasoning model, offering the same visible reasoning tokens in a beta form. It supports adjustable reasoning effort for tuning depth, structured data generation, external tool integration, and step-by-step reasoning across a 131k token context window. The model targets cost-conscious agentic systems that want reasoning transparency without the overhead of larger models. The beta designation reflects that xAI was still refining its lightweight reasoning approach based on real-world usage. It gives early adopters access to the same core advantages as the released model: inspectable thinking tokens, adjustable reasoning effort, and agentic capabilities through tool calling and function specification.
