Inception: Mercury 2.5 Preview on OpenRouter

Another of their diffusion LLMs which I have personally always had a soft spot for with an 80% off pricing through 9/7. After that it increases to Input $0.20/M tokens and Output $0.75/M tokens.

I have to say, I do feel bad for the Inception Labs team. Landing a preview model a few hours before Anthropic launches Fable 5.1 must hurt and is likely not how they saw their day going. Even more so considering their models are by their nature very good at very specific, but not necessarily eye-catching tasks and thus benefit from a more quiet release window and some added attention beyond frontend, SVG and badly copying 3D games into JS hype posts. Running vs my mt0+Haiku 4.5 system currently.

Once again, shows how much "pReDiCtIoN mArKeTs" are really worth when there is no insider trading, they seem to all have bet against 01.09.2026 right up until the last second. So much for providing information competitors can act upon...
