Mercury 2

Mercury 2 is the world's fastest reasoning LLM, built on Inception Labs' diffusion architecture. It generates tokens in parallel rather than sequentially, achieving over 1,000 tokens/sec on NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs — making reasoning-grade quality viable within real-time latency budgets for agents, voice, and search pipelines.

key features
  • 011,009 tokens/sec on NVIDIA Blackwell — parallel diffusion decoding delivers >5x faster generation than autoregressive models at the same quality tier
  • 02Tunable reasoning with 128K context, native tool use, and schema-aligned JSON output — production-ready for agentic loops, coding, voice, and RAG pipelines
  • 03OpenAI API-compatible — drop in as a replacement with no rewrites required; $0.25/M input · $0.75/M output
