Mercury 2.5 Preview

Inception
Mercury 2.5 is the latest diffusion-based large language model (dLLM) released by Inception. It is the fastest inference LLM; unlike the sequential token-by-token generation approach, Mercury 2.5 can generate and optimize multiple tokens in parallel, achieving a generation speed of 1,107 tokens per second on standard GPUs. Compared to Mercury 2, its intelligence has increased by more than 10 percentage points, and its quality rivals leading cost-optimized frontier models such as GPT-5.6 Luna (Low), Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite, and Claude Haiku 4.5.

Performance for mercury-2.5-preview

Uptime is the percentage of requests that succeeded over the past 72 hours. AIHubMix continuously monitors every provider and automatically retries with the next-best provider when one returns an error or responds too slowly; Latency is total round-trip time (lower is better); Throughput is how fast the model writes (tokens per second, higher is better).
