Nace AI has open-sourced Drex v1.5 weights on Hugging Face, billed as the smallest #1 decision-making model with a 128k context window, targeting local and cloud deployment. It works with Ollama, Unsloth, and OpenCode, and can plug into Claude, Codex, Cursor, and more; cloud users get a $25 sign-up bonus.
Notably, the team says Xiaomi's distilled MiMo 9B turned out to be a better base model than Qwen 3.5 9B in their training runs.
