Inception closes Mercury 2 and 2.5 to new users and sets a November cutoff

Inception’s current model page says Mercury 2 and 2.5 are no longer available to new users. Existing customers who used them before October 19 may retain access through November 15, 2026, while enterprise agreements remain supported. The page does not give a reliable announcement publication date, so the story remains undated.
