Inception Platform (Mercury LLM)

Inception Platform provides production access to Mercury LLM, Inception's family of diffusion large language models, through managed APIs and enterprise deployment arrangements. It serves developers and enterprise teams building conversational applications, coding tools, and workflows that generate text, call functions, or return structured decisions. Its core offering is AI Model Serving & Inference, with configurable data handling, capacity, and support terms. Mercury LLM is the core of the platform. Where most language models write one token at a time, Mercury is a diffusion model: it starts from a rough draft of the whole response and refines many tokens in parallel. Mercury 3, the latest flagship model, supports a 1 million token context window and up to 131,072 output tokens. It offers tool calling, JSON Schema structured outputs, and four reasoning effort levels (instant, low, medium, high), and accepts text input. Inception reports speeds above 1,000 tokens per second on NVIDIA GPUs, a figure the company measured itself. The family also includes Mercury Edit 2 for code completion and editing, Mercury Decide for classification and extraction, and Mercury Voice for voice agents, which is available to enterprise customers through sales. Earlier models, Mercury 2.5 and Mercury 2, remain available.
