Celeris-1 Magnus: Fast hybrid diffusion model for agentic work

Celeris AI released Celeris-1 Magnus, a hybrid diffusion model for agentic work, scoring 41.2% on τ³-bench banking, ahead of gpt-5.6-sol, with a 13.4-point gain when thinking is enabled for 6 seconds and a 55-second median completion time per task. The model is available via an OpenAI-compatible API at inference.celeris.ai, allowing existing agent code to run with a one-word change.

Magnus is built for agents that need to think, use tools, and get things done, without waiting around.

All 97 tasks of τ³-bench banking, head-to-head against gpt-5.6-sol, gpt-5.6-luna and gemini-3.7-flash, reasoning effort as published.

41.2% on τ³-bench banking, ahead of gpt-5.6-sol, with the field's best solve rate.

One flag between fast and thorough. 13.4 extra points when thinking is on, for 6 seconds.

55 seconds median per completed task, quicker than every model within ten points of it.

Celeris-1 is built for answers; Magnus is built for tasks. The API is the same, so switching is a one-word change.

Ultra-fast generation for chat, search and real-time interfaces.

Agentic work: tool loops, long tasks, structured actions.

The API is OpenAI-compatible. Point your SDK at inference.celeris.ai and keep the agent code you already wrote.

Set the base URL and model id. Your existing agent code runs as is.

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://inference.celeris.ai/celeris-1-magnus/v1",
    api_key="ck_…",
)

resp = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="celeris-1-magnus",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Move my Friday payment to Monday"}],
    tools=my_tools,
    extra_body={"chat_template_kwargs": {"enable_thinking": True}},
