Why it matters
Mercury 2.5 tests whether diffusion can become a practical serving architecture for high-volume agents, where latency and cost compound across every model call.
Stefano Ermon (@StefanoErmon), Aditya Grover (@adityagrover_) and Volodymyr Kuleshov (@volokuleshov) launched Mercury 2.5 on September 8th, pushing their diffusion language model research into a production-oriented API that Inception says can generate 1,107 tokens per second on widely available Nvidia GPUs.
