Mercury 2 is the fastest reasoning LLM, built on diffusion-based language model (dLLM) architecture. Instead of generating text token-by-token, it refines multiple text blocks simultaneously, achieving over 1,000 tokens per second on Nvidia Blackwell GPUs — 5x faster than leading speed-optimized LLMs. Supports tool usage and JSON output with 128K context window.
