Inception's API launch made Mercury Coder Small available for two distinct coding interactions: conversation and filling a gap between existing pieces of code. In the second mode, the application supplies the text before and after the gap, and the model generates the missing portion. That gives an editor a way to request a completion that fits surrounding code. The launch article also describes compatibility with OpenAI client libraries, allowing applications to connect through a familiar interface while using Inception's coding model.
