Grok 4.3 — a long-document understanding model with million-token context

  • Million-token context
  • Adjustable reasoning depth
  • Tool calls that follow instructions
  • Structured output

What is Grok 4.3?

Grok 4.3 is xAI’s model from around April 2026. It offers million-token context and is most often used to finish long documents or large repo slices in one thread—then follow instructions for tool calls and structured output. Versus earlier Grok 4 family routing, 4.3 is the general long-context pick; when multi-step coding, retrieval, and code execution matter more, compare Grok 4.5. On iMini Agent, pick Grok 4.3 to use it.

Where it stands out

Long context, tool calls, and adjustable depth—the boundaries to check before you stay on 4.3.

Million-token context

Suited to keeping long documents, large repo slices, and multi-turn history in one thread.

Adjustable reasoning depth

Switch from lighter to deeper reasoning by task; everyday work can run lower depth for speed.

Tools and structured output

Function calling and structured output hold up better—suited to business systems and automation flows.

More restrained claims

xAI’s cloud listing materials stress relatively lower hallucination—suited to jobs that need clear conclusions with less filler.

Three common workflows

Grok 4.3 fits long-material reading and tool calls that must follow instructions tightly; for heavier multi-step coding, compare 4.5.

Long-document analysis

For reading and summarizing contracts, manuals, and multi-file materials. Anchor claims to the source text.

Instruction-following tool calls

For business flows that demand strict instruction following. Lock success criteria and an output schema.

Q&A and medium coding

For Q&A, planning, and medium-difficulty coding. Step up to 4.5 when coding plus retrieval/execution gets heavier.

How to choose vs Grok 4.5 and Gemini 3.1 Pro

All three are modern primary picks. The gap is mainly context length, coding tool surface, and product stack.
