Inception builds diffusion-based large language models that generate code and text through iterative refinement instead of token-by-token, aiming for much faster, cheaper inference. It targets developers and companies needing low-latency, cost-efficient AI applications. Its differentiator is bringing diffusion-model techniques, common in image generation, to code and text.
