Mercury Edit 2
A new frontier in LLM speed

Our Take
Mercury Edit 2 is doing next-edit prediction rather than the overdone next-token completion thing, which is actually a smarter angle — predicting the actual change you want to make means less back-and-forth between you and the model. That 159 votes on what I'm guessing is a Product Hunt launch tells me real devs are at least curious, though I'd want to know actual latency numbers before hyping it up. The move here is precision over speed, but whether that's the right bet for your workflow depends on what you're building.
Builds and deploys next-generation large language models (LLMs) powered by diffusion rather than traditional autoregressive generation. Their models produce many tokens in parallel, making them several times faster and less than half the cost of conventional LLMs.
