Developers and AI teams who need ultra-fast, real-time AI for coding, editing, and agent workflows with low latency and high throughput
About 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.

Nemotron 3 Ultra
Nemotron 3 Nano is a compact, open large language model in NVIDIA’s Nemotron 3 family, designed for efficient agentic reasoning, conversational AI, and coding tasks. It uses a hybrid Mixture-of-Experts Mamba-Transformer architecture that activates only a small subset of parameters per token, enabling low-latency inference while maintaining strong accuracy and reasoning performance. It has approximately 31.6 billion total parameters with around 3.2 billion active (3.6 billion including embeddings), allowing it to achieve higher accuracy than previous Nemotron 2 Nano while using less computation per forward pass. Nemotron 3 Nano supports long-context processing of up to one million tokens, enabling it to handle large documents, multi-step workflows, and extended reasoning chains in a single pass. It is designed for high-throughput, real-time execution, excelling in multi-turn conversations, tool calling, and agent-based workflows where tasks require planning, reasoning, and more.

Claude Haiku 5.5
Claude Haiku 5.5 is an Anthropic AI model designed for high-volume, latency-sensitive workloads such as classification, routing, extraction, and subagent tasks. The model supports adaptive thinking, allowing it to determine when and how much reasoning to perform based on the request. Developers can use the effort parameter to balance response quality against speed and cost, while adaptive thinking is enabled by default. Claude Haiku 5.5 provides a 1 million token context window and supports outputs of up to 128,000 tokens, increasing from the 200,000-token context window and 64,000-token output limit of Claude Haiku 4.5. It also supports browser use through the Claude API and Google Cloud for workflows that require interaction with web-based environments. Claude Haiku 5.5 uses Anthropic's newer tokenizer introduced with Claude 4.7 and later models, which results in the same text using approximately 30% more tokens than with Claude Haiku 4.5.
