• Pricing comparison with Claude and other models
• Free credits program
• Integration with Klein, Rode, and Requesty
• Ninja AI platform
• Code generation performance
• Multimodality support

1. Gro 3 API and Model Overview

• Gro 3's API is now available, including a new model.
• Two models: Gro 3 (expensive, no reasoning) and Gro 3 Mini (cheap, with reasoning).
• Gro 3 costs $3 and $15 for input and output tokens, respectively, similar to Claude.
• Gro 3 Mini costs $0.30 and $0.50 for input and output tokens, respectively.
• Gro 3 reasoning was initially in beta and used in "big brain mode," while the current reasoning on the Gro platform uses Gro 3 Mini.

2. Reasoning Capabilities and Performance

• Gro 3 Mini includes a reasoning option with low and high settings.
• The API response includes "thinking tokens," which is a positive feature.
• Gro 3 Mini outperforms Gro 3 in some cases due to its reasoning capabilities.
• Gro 3 Mini's performance is similar to 03 Mini while being cheaper.
• The speaker notes that users will likely be charged for thinking tokens.
• On the Ader leaderboards, Gro 3 Mini (high reasoning) scored 49.3% at $0.73, while Gro 3 scored 53% for $11, making the Mini model more cost-effective.

3. Pricing and Free Credits

• Gro offers $150 worth of free credits per month for users who share responses and API data.
• Users need to have spent at least $5 to enable the free credits, but those who spent $5 previously can still access it.
• The free credits are beneficial for students and those who don't heavily rely on code generation.

4. Integration with Development Tools

• Gro 3 is available on Open Router and Requesty.
• To use with Klein and Rode, upgrade to the latest versions in VS Code.
• Klein and Rode allow selecting XAI and choosing Gro 3 or Gro 3 Mini.
• Issue: Klein and Rode lack a reasoning effort slider for Gro 3 Mini, defaulting to low reasoning effort.
• Open Router also lacks an endpoint for automatic high reasoning.
• Requesty has different model names for low and high reasoning efforts (Grock 3 mini low and Grock 3 mini high).

5. Code Generation Example

• The speaker demonstrates using Gro 3 Mini to create a 3JS game of a sailing ship.
• The model quickly generates the code, and the thinking traces are available.
• The generated game looks good, and the cost is low.

6. Comparison with Other Models

• Gro 3 Mini is considered a "real deal" due to its low cost and good performance.
• It is less censored than other models.
• While not as cheap as Gemini's Flash, it offers a lucrative price point.
• The speaker plans to use it in their workflow.
• Gro 3 Mini is better at coding than Haiku, which is more expensive.

7. Requesty and API Key Usage

• Requesty allows users to input their own API keys, enabling the use of the $150 free credits.
• To use with Root Code, select the provider (X or Open Router), but reasoning effort won't work.
• Users need to switch to Requesty and choose the high or low reasoning model.

8. Multimodality Support

• Gro 3 does not currently support multimodality, but the functionality is planned for the future.

9. Ninja AI Platform

• Ninja AI is an all-in-one platform with access to top AI models like GPT40, Claude 3.7 Sonnet, and Gemini 2.0 Flash for $11 per month.
• Features include an AI playground for comparing model responses and a mind map generator.
• The basic plan includes 1,000 messages, 30 images, and five videos monthly.
• Use code "king25" for 25% off any plan or "king40yearly" for 40% off annual subscriptions.

10. Conclusion

• Gro 3 Mini is a snappy, awesome model with a lucrative price point.
• The $150 free credit is a significant advantage.
• The speaker encourages viewers to try the model and share their thoughts.
