Mercury 3
Inception · Sorti oct. 2026
Mercury 3 is Inception's diffusion LLM with a 1M-token context at a list price of $0.20 input and $0.70 output per 1M tokens, and speed is the reason to pick it. The deciding caveat is that its quality claims come from Inception and its partners, and the headline comparisons name no benchmark. Suits voice, chat, search and browser agents where latency sets the experience, not hard reasoning.
