Task-specific scoring for math workloads across 5 dimensions.
| Dimension | Grok 3 | Claude Sonnet 4.5 | Edge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Step-by-step Reasoning | Lays out solutions in clear steps and handles standard textbook problems well, though it occasionally skips justifications. | Provides meticulous step-by-step derivations with explicit justification at each stage. | |
| Symbolic Math | Handles common algebraic and calculus manipulations reliably but can stumble on complex symbolic simplifications. | Performs symbolic manipulation with high accuracy, correctly handling nested expressions and substitutions. | |
| Word Problems | Translates word problems into equations effectively for standard types and presents solutions readably. | Excels at decomposing multi-step word problems, correctly identifying constraints even in ambiguous setups. | |
| Statistical Analysis | Covers descriptive statistics and common hypothesis tests competently with a practical approach. | Handles advanced statistical methods including Bayesian reasoning and experimental design with greater rigor. | |
| Proof Construction | Produces informal proofs and explains strategies at an undergraduate level but may leave gaps in formal arguments. | Constructs well-organized formal proofs handling induction, contradiction, and direct proof techniques reliably. |
Choose Grok 3 for quick calculations, standard homework help, or conversational explanations of math concepts without heavy formalism.
Choose Claude Sonnet 4.5 for advanced coursework, research mathematics, proof writing, or problems where correctness and rigorous reasoning are non-negotiable.
Claude Sonnet 4.5 dominates mathematical tasks with superior formal reasoning, meticulous approach, and lower error rate. Grok 3 is adequate for routine calculations and textbook exercises but falls short on rigorous symbolic manipulation or formal proofs.
