Company Background Information
Overview
Inception creates the world's fastest, most efficient AI models. Today's autoregression LLMs generate tokens sequentially, which makes them painfully slow and expensive. Inception's diffusion-based LLMs (dLLMs) generate answers in parallel. They are 10X faster and more efficient, making it possible for any business to create instant, in-the-flow AI solutions.
