Sad to hear, but I got an email from [email protected] announcing the Mercury API that hosts their diffusion models is shutting down. No blog post yet but I assume one is coming. Here is the full email: `` Hi, We want to share an important update regarding the Mercury API. After careful consideration, we’ve made the decision to wind down the service. The Mercury API will remain fully available through December 28, 2026. After this date, you will no longer have access to the service or any data submitted to the platform. We encourage you to retrieve any necessary data before then. If you have questions or need assistance with the transition, please reply to this email. We’re happy to help. It’s been a privilege building Mercury alongside customers like you. Your feedback and ideas have been invaluable in shaping the platform, and we’re deeply grateful for your support and trust. Warmly, The Inception Team ` Also a shorter message on their discord from Yannis Miraoui: ` Hi everyone, API access to all Mercury models will end on December 28, 2026. Mercury models will no longer be available from Nov 8 via OpenRouter. Thank you for building with Mercury and for being part of this from the start! Please contact us if you have any additional questions. `` |

| johnshahbazian 8 minutes ago │ next [–] Are they getting acquired or something? I really like Decide, it did better than Jev for me, so I was going to use it pretty heavily in a few of my apps. reply | johnshahbazian 8 minutes ago │ next [–] Are they getting acquired or something?

| phildenhoff 34 minutes ago │ prev │ next [–] I'm confused about this announcement. What does it actually mean? Will the Mercury models be available from somewhere else..? Is the Inception API different from the Mercury API? "Inception API" is what their marketing talks about reply | phildenhoff 34 minutes ago │ prev │ next [–] I'm confused about this announcement.

| wing_rets 53 minutes ago │ prev [–] Very disappointing, their models were so cheap and SO fast. Wonder if there's some type of merger or acquisition? And what will happen to the tech? imagine if they open sourced it all.. reply | wing_rets 53 minutes ago │ prev [–] Very disappointing, their models were so cheap and SO fast.
