Inception: Mercury
Mercury is the first diffusion large language model (dLLM). Applying a breakthrough discrete diffusion approach, the model runs 5-10x faster than even speed optimized models like GPT-4.1 Nano and Claude 3.5 Haiku while matching their performance. Mercury's speed enables developers to provide responsive user experiences, including with voice agents, search interfaces, and chatbots.
