Inception: Mercury - Fast and Efficient Text Processing

Experience swift and precise text processing with Inception: Mercury.

Input: text Output: text Context: 128,000 tokens Release: 2025-06-26

Inception: Mercury, launched on June 26, 2025, by Inception, is a diffusion large language model (dLLM) designed for text-to-text tasks. It features a substantial context window of 128,000 tokens, allowing for extensive input processing. Mercury employs a unique discrete diffusion approach, enabling it to operate 5-10 times faster than other optimized models like GPT-4.1 Nano. This efficiency makes it ideal for applications requiring quick responses, such as voice agents, search interfaces, and chatbots. With text as both its input and output modality, Mercury supports a range of parameters, including frequency penalty, max tokens, and temperature, providing developers with flexibility in tailoring outputs. Mercury's speed and performance make it a valuable tool for creating responsive and dynamic user experiences.

up.end

/ˌəpˈend/

verb

To “upend” means to completely disrupt, overturn, or drastically change the established order or structure of something. It implies a significant shift or alteration that can potentially have far-reaching consequences. When something is upended, it is turned upside down or transformed in a way that challenges conventional norms or expectations. The term often carries a sense of innovation, transformation, and sometimes even a hint of upheaval, indicating that the changes are not just minor adjustments but rather a fundamental reimagining of the status quo.
