Mercury 2: Diffusion LLM Achieves 5x Faster Inference Speed
By
–
Impressive inference speed from Inception Labs’ diffusion LLMs. Diffusion LLMs are a fascinating alternative to conventional autoregressive LLMs. Well done @StefanoErmon and team! https://t.co/w4w5QZpyp6
— Andrew Ng (@AndrewYNg) 25 février 2026Impressive inference speed from Inception Labs’ diffusion LLMs. Diffusion LLMs are a fascinating alternative to conventional autoregressive LLMs. Well done @StefanoErmon and team! Stefano Ermon (@StefanoErmon) Mercury 2 is live 🚀🚀 The world’s first reasoning diffusion LLM, delivering 5x faster performance than leading speed-optimized LLMs. Watching the team turn years of research into a real product never gets old, and I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built. We’re just getting started on what diffusion can do for language. — https://nitter.net/StefanoErmon/status/2026340720064520670#m

Economic potential and displacement challenges of technological innovation
By

I’m with Cathie on this one. It is easy to create SciFi that predicts economic doom. It is harder to think through the possibilities and economic potential of innovations. That said, this is a time for empathy for any about to be displaced. Hoping the transition to the future

LLM Performance Degradation Over Extended Context Windows
By
–
Performance degrades over the course of 100k tokens even, let alone the whole currently supported window… After a few turns of coding Python, it just can't reliably use its tools anymore. Requires constant jumping back and/or offloading.
