# Inception Mercury 2

Inception Mercury 2 costs $0.25 per million input tokens and $0.75 per million output tokens, as of October 22, 2026. Only one of the 6 coding benchmarks behind the index has measured it, and the index needs two, so there is not enough data for a coding score. 41 benchmarks outside the index have a result below.
