Description

Inkling-Small is an efficient Mixture-of-Experts transformer model built to provide performance comparable to Inkling while using a much smaller active parameter footprint. The model has 276 billion total parameters and 12 billion active parameters, making it designed for strong capability with more efficient compute usage. Inkling-Small was trained on NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 systems and supports native reasoning across text, images, and audio. It offers context windows of up to one million tokens, making it suitable for long documents, large codebases, multimodal context, and extended agent workflows. Users can set reasoning effort from minimal to extra high to control the balance between speed, cost, compute, and task complexity. The model benefits from improved pre-training data, post-training with on-policy distillation from Inkling, and extended agentic coding reinforcement learning. These improvements helped Inkling-Small surpass its larger counterpart on reasoning and coding benchmarks. Its encoder-free multimodal architecture processes audio as dMel spectrograms and images as 40-by-40-pixel patches alongside text tokens. By combining efficient MoE scaling, long-context reasoning, multimodal input, coding strength, and adjustable thinking effort, Inkling-Small is built for practical high-performance AI deployment.

Description

Mercury 2 represents a groundbreaking advancement in reasoning models, specifically designed for real-time voice interaction as it can quickly answer phone calls. Unlike traditional autoregressive models that leave callers in silence while generating responses one token at a time, Mercury 2 employs a diffusion large language model architecture capable of producing over 1000 tokens per second with standard NVIDIA GPUs. This remarkable speed allows it to complete a full reasoning process and begin speaking within a timeframe that aligns with natural conversational flow, effectively shortening the typical wait time from several seconds to approximately 300 milliseconds. The operational mechanism of Mercury models involves transforming clear text into noise, after which a conventional Transformer is trained to reverse this transformation and predict the original text across all positions at once. By utilizing a denoising approach that engages multiple tokens simultaneously, generation becomes more efficient, enabling speeds akin to custom silicon on NVIDIA H100s while improving responsiveness in voice applications. As a result, Mercury 2 not only enhances user experience but also sets a new standard for interactive voice technologies.
