Inception Labs
Inception Labs is pioneering the next generation of AI with diffusion-based large language models (dLLMs), a breakthrough in AI that offers 10x faster performance and 5-10x lower cost than traditional autoregressive models. Inspired by the success of diffusion models in image and video generation, Inception’s dLLMs introduce enhanced reasoning, error correction, and multimodal capabilities, allowing for more structured and accurate text generation. With applications spanning enterprise AI, research, and content generation, Inception’s approach sets a new standard for speed, efficiency, and control in AI-driven workflows.

Mercury Coder
Mercury, the latest innovation from Inception Labs, is the first commercial-scale diffusion large language model (dLLM), offering a 10x speed increase and significantly lower costs compared to traditional autoregressive models. Built for high-performance reasoning, coding, and structured text generation, Mercury processes over 1000 tokens per second on NVIDIA H100 GPUs, making it one of the fastest LLMs available. Unlike conventional models that generate text one token at a time, Mercury refines responses using a coarse-to-fine diffusion approach, improving accuracy and reducing hallucinations. With Mercury Coder, a specialized coding model, developers can experience cutting-edge AI-driven code generation with superior speed and efficiency.

Mercury Edit 2
Mercury Edit 2 is part of Inception Labs’ Mercury family of AI models, designed to perform high-speed reasoning, coding, and editing tasks using a fundamentally different architecture from traditional large language models. It builds on Mercury 2, a diffusion-based reasoning model that generates and refines entire outputs in parallel rather than producing text token by token, enabling significantly faster performance and more responsive editing workflows. Instead of acting like a sequential “typewriter,” the system behaves more like an editor, starting with a rough draft and iteratively improving it across multiple tokens at once, which allows for real-time interaction and rapid iteration in tasks such as code editing, content generation, and agent-based workflows. This architecture delivers throughput of up to around 1,000 tokens per second, making it several times faster than conventional models while maintaining competitive reasoning quality across benchmarks.

Gemini Diffusion
Gemini Diffusion is our state-of-the-art research model exploring what diffusion means for language and text generation. Large-language models are the foundation of generative AI today. We’re using a technique called diffusion to explore a new kind of language model that gives users greater control, creativity, and speed in text generation. Diffusion models work differently. Instead of predicting text directly, they learn to generate outputs by refining noise, step by step. This means they can iterate on a solution very quickly and error correct during the generation process. This helps them excel at tasks like editing, including in the context of math and code. Generates entire blocks of tokens at once, meaning it responds more coherently to a user’s prompt than autoregressive models. Gemini Diffusion’s external benchmark performance is comparable to much larger models, whilst also being faster.
