If you like Mercury 2 you should try Xiaomi Mimo-v2-flash.

I have an agentic benchmark and it shows Mercury 2 at 19/25 in 58 seconds and Mimo v2 Flash at 22/25 in 109 seconds

Thanks for the recommendation and sharing your evals, will take a closer look at them. Yes, the Mimo models are very interesting, end-to-end pricing wise especially, though in my tool call runs, GLM 4.7 Flash did slightly better at roughly equal speed and full run cost. Is of course very task dependent and both are amazing options in the price range, but latency wise, nothing feels like Mercury 2 at the moment.
