Mercury: Commercial-scale diffusion language model
We trained diffusion large language models that are up to 10x faster and cheaper than current LLMs, pushing the frontier of intelligence and speed for language models.
Inception Labs
We are leveraging diffusion technology to develop a new generation of LLMs. Our dLLMs are much faster and more efficient than traditional autoregressive LLMs.
