I’m using this model to „rerank” results from vector store. The model is provided a set of results and asked to produce a string of 1s and 0s where the offset reflects the position in the result set. The prompt goes along the line „do this set of result match the provided query X”. Works like a charm, normally I would use a small non reasoning model, but given how Mercury produces the output its blazingly fast - which is what I was optimizing for - not to increase the search latency. It helped improving our search in a way that reranker could get close to.
