Solution by Maple

Time used: 0.011 (sec). Leaf size: 14

dsolve([diff(y(x),x)=x^3*(1-y(x)),y(0) = 3],y(x), singsol=all)
 
\[ y = 1+2 \,{\mathrm e}^{-\frac {x^{4}}{4}} \]

Solution by Mathematica

Time used: 0.068 (sec). Leaf size: 18

DSolve[{D[y[x],x]==x^3*(1-y[x]),{y[0]==3}},y[x],x,IncludeSingularSolutions -> True]
 
\[ y(x)\to 2 e^{-\frac {x^4}{4}}+1 \]
