Nace.AI has released Drex 1.5, an open-source 9 billion parameter decision model designed for agents and backend workflows. Unlike traditional language models, Drex 1.5 evaluates a fixed set of options based on a given state and typed questions, returning probabilities for each choice. The model achieves a score of 58.08 on the Decision Index 0.3.1 benchmark, positioning it as a top performer among models under 10 billion parameters. Its architecture is based on a distilled Qwen 3.5 9B model, and it supports context windows up to 128,000 tokens. AI
IMPACT This specialized decision model could streamline agent workflows and backend processes by providing direct option scoring rather than text generation.
