About

Mercury 2 is the first reasoning model fast enough to pick up the phone, a reasoning diffusion language model built for real-time voice agents. Instead of making callers wait through seconds of dead air while an autoregressive model generates thinking tokens one by one, Mercury 2 uses a diffusion large language model architecture to generate tokens in parallel, decoding 1000+ tokens per second on standard NVIDIA GPUs. That speed is fast enough to run a full reasoning pass and start speaking within the latency budget of a natural conversation, reducing the cost of reasoning from seconds of silence to roughly 300 milliseconds. Mercury models work by corrupting clean text into noise, then training a standard Transformer to reverse the process and predict clean text across all positions simultaneously. Because each denoising pass touches many tokens, generation uses the GPU more efficiently than one-token-at-a-time decoding, making custom-silicon-like speed possible on NVIDIA H100s.

About

Step 3.5 Flash is an advanced open source foundation language model engineered for frontier reasoning and agentic capabilities with exceptional efficiency, built on a sparse Mixture of Experts (MoE) architecture that selectively activates only about 11 billion of its ~196 billion parameters per token to deliver high-density intelligence and real-time responsiveness. Its 3-way Multi-Token Prediction (MTP-3) enables generation throughput in the hundreds of tokens per second for complex multi-step reasoning chains and task execution, and it supports efficient long contexts with a hybrid sliding window attention approach that reduces computational overhead across large datasets or codebases. It demonstrates robust performance on benchmarks for reasoning, coding, and agentic tasks, rivaling or exceeding many larger proprietary models, and includes a scalable reinforcement learning framework for consistent self-improvement.
