Mercury 3 lands on AI Gateway: diffusion-based parallel refinement generates text above 1,000 tokens per second
Inception's Mercury 3 is now available through AI Gateway, generating text by diffusion through parallel refinement rather than word-by-word sequential generation. Inception reports strong results across a range of benchmarks, generation speeds above 1,000 tokens per second, and a 1M-token context window. The model targets latency-sensitive workloads such as browser agents, real-time search, interactive education, and customer support, with improved reasoning.
