### AI overview

Inception says Mercury 3 beat GPT-6 Luna and Claude Haiku 5.5 on 8 of 12 company-run benchmarks while generating responses at 1,068 tokens per second on Nvidia GPUs, versus about 130 and 240, respectively. Its diffusion approach drafts a full response and refines positions in parallel; the two comparison models generate tokens sequentially. Mercury 3 led on SWE-Bench Atlas but trailed Haiku 5.5 on DeepSWE and one long-context test; GPT-6 Luna narrowly won two others. No outside evaluation had been published. The model has a 1-million-token context window, costs 20c per million input tokens and 70c per million output tokens (cached input is 90% cheaper), and is available through Inception and several partners. Inception says OpenAI API software needs only minor changes to call it.

### Source excerpt

Diffusion language model startup Inception AI Inc. today released Mercury 3, its new flagship model. In the company's own benchmarks, Mercury 3 beat OpenAI Group PBC's GPT-6 Luna and Anthropic PBC's Claude Haiku 5.5 on eight of 12 tests at four to eight times their speed. The release takes on the main doubt about Inception's [...] The post Inception says Mercury 3 beats GPT-6 Luna and Claude Haiku 5.5 at up to 8x the speed appeared first on SiliconANGLE.

### AI overview

Stuut raised $52.5 million in a Series B round to expand its AI agent platform for automating enterprise order-to-cash tasks, including invoicing, collections, payment matching and disputes. The company says its agents integrate with existing ERP, CRM and payment systems, and reports growth in customers and payment volume. It plans to invest in credit scoring, lending and automated fund movement.

### Source excerpt

Artificial intelligence companies that can help even bigger companies to get paid are likely to make a fair bit of money themselves, if the example of Stuut Inc. is any indication. The company today said it has closed on a Series B funding round worth $52.5 million, bringing its total amount raised to $93 million [...] The post Stuut cashes in on agentic order-to-cash automation with $52.5M in funding appeared first on SiliconANGLE.
