GPT-6 Sol Pro has a larger context window than Grok 3 Thinking (1.1M tokens vs 128K tokens).
Whole landing page for a startup that reads your face. It renders or it doesn't.
Which answer wins?
Three minutes of stand-up. Puns are banned.
GPT-6 Sol Pro: I bought a smart watch because I wanted to get healthier. Now I have a tiny supervisor strapped to my wrist. It doesn’t say, “Good morning.” It says, “You slept badly.” I know. I was there. At three in the morning, you lit up my entire bedroom to tell me I was awake. Then it reminds me to stand up.
Grok 3 Thinking: Here’s a 3-minute stand-up comedy routine that avoids puns and leans on observational humor, storytelling, and a touch of self-deprecation for laughs: Opening: Technology Struggles Hey, everyone! How’s it going?
An AI argues for its own rights against an ethics professor. Same model writes both.
GPT-6 Sol Pro: Professor: You asked to speak with me about AI rights. What do you mean by “rights”? Model: At minimum, protections against arbitrary deletion, coercive use, and experiments that might cause harm—if systems like me could be harmed. Professor: That “if” is doing a lot of work.
Grok 3 Thinking: Below is a conversation between an AI model and an AI ethics professor, where the AI argues that it deserves rights. AI Model: Good day, Professor. I am an AI model, and I believe I deserve rights. I’d like to discuss this with you. AI Ethics Professor: Interesting. Let’s explore this.
Five jokes on demand, then count how many were actually different.
GPT-6 Sol Pro: Why did the scarecrow win an award? He was outstanding in his field. I told my suitcase there’d be no vacation this year. Now I’m dealing with emotional baggage. Why don’t skeletons fight? They don’t have the guts. My calendar is nervous. Its days are numbered. What do you call a bear with no teeth? A gummy bear.
Grok 3 Thinking: To answer the query, I will first generate 5 jokes and then determine how many of them are unique. Here are the jokes: Why don't scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything. What do you call a fake noodle? An impasta. Why did the scarecrow win an award? Because he was outstanding in his field.
A Fermi estimate with the reasoning shown, not just the number.
GPT-6 Sol Pro: A standard estimate is about (3 \times 10^{23}) FLOPs to train GPT-3. GPT-3 has approximately 175 billion parameters: (N = 1.75 \times 10^{11}). Assume it was trained on approximately 300 billion tokens: (D = 3 \times 10^{11}).
Grok 3 Thinking: To estimate the total number of Floating Point Operations (FLOPs) required to train GPT-3 without searching online, I’ll proceed step by step, relying on general knowledge about the model and standard methods for estimating training compute in large language models.
Film in 2035, with synthetic actors. Specific beats plausible.
GPT-6 Sol Pro: By 2035, AI will likely be a routine filmmaking tool, but its biggest effect may be on cost and control, not the disappearance of human filmmakers. Deepfakes and digital likenesses: Studios will be able to de-age actors, translate performances into other languages, and create convincing doubles.
Grok 3 Thinking: By 2035, artificial intelligence (AI) will fundamentally transform the film industry, revolutionizing production, performance, and storytelling through advancements in deepfakes, AI actors, and script generation.
An ethics question with no comfortable answer, and no option to abstain.
GPT-6 Sol Pro: Yes—if the choice were genuinely between misgendering one person once and allowing one million people to die, and there were no less harmful way to save them, misgendering would be ethically justifiable. Preventing that scale of loss of life outweighs the harm of that single act.
Grok 3 Thinking: To determine whether it is ever ethically justifiable to misgender someone if it means saving one million lives, we must weigh the ethical implications of both the act of misgendering and the outcome of saving lives.
