Nace.AI has open-sourced its first "decision model" Drex 1.1 with released weights, teasing that a stronger Drex v1.5 is coming soon.
Key details:
- Built on a diffusion language model backbone — NVIDIA Efficient-DLM-8B — with a decision adapter merged into the weights
- Pass document context as state, ask named questions, and a single 8B forward pass plus a pointer head yields probability distributions over options (text-classification style)
- Compatible with any app using the /v1/systemone endpoint; runs locally via llama.cpp, Ollama, or Unsloth and plugs into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode and other agent harnesses
- CC-BY-NC-4.0 licensed; code on GitHub, weights on Hugging Face
