Unlike text-generating models, Drex Max accepts text and up to 8 images per request, returning calibrated probability distributions for structured questions rather than generating text tokens. It supports context of up to 262,144 tokens per question through a hosted API, with no open-weights release announced.\n\nNace AI reports that Drex Max scored 67.59 on the public Decision Index 0.3.2, which the company states is 6.9 points higher than TypeSafe's Jev 1.14. It also achieved 98.2 on BFCL tool calling and 74.5 on the Decision Index Vision public suite, while trailing Jev 1.14 on benchmarks such as MMLU-Pro (72.5 versus 82.1) and HLE (19.0 versus 19.4). All benchmark figures are self-reported by Nace AI.\n\nThe model is available through the Nace Console under the pinned identifier drex-max. Pricing is set at $0.06 per 1 million input tokens, with output tokens unbilled, and Nace AI claims a median latency of 174 milliseconds per screenshot decision.","keyPoints":["Drex Max processes text and images to return calibrated probabilities for agent choices without generating text.","Nace AI self-reports a score of 67.59 on Decision Index 0.3.2, outperforming TypeSafe's Jev 1.14 by 6.9 points.","The API costs $0.06 per 1M input tokens with free output, supporting up to 262,144 tokens per question."],"whyItMatters":"Decision models offer an alternative to large generative models for computer-use agents, lowering API costs and latency for simple UI actions.","category":{"slug":"models","name":"Generative AI & Models","url":"https://digestai.news/category/models"},"entities":{"companies":["Nace AI","TypeSafe"],"models":["Drex Max","Jev 1.14","Drex 2.0","GPT-6 Luna Decisions","d3-flash","Drex 1.5"],"people":["Michal Sutter"]},"firstPublishedAt":"2026-10-20T00:03:38Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-20T00:03:38Z","sourceCount":1,"hasPrimarySource":false,"sources":[{"outlet":"MarkTechPost","title":"Meet Drex Max: Nace AI’s Multimodal Decision Model for Computer-Use Agents with a Score 67.59","url":"https://marktechpost.com/2026/10/19/nace-ai-drex-max-multimodal-decision-model","publishedAt":"2026-10-20T00:03:38Z","type":"press","primary":false,"lead":true}],"sourceNotes":null,"discussions":[],"thread":{"title":"The AI Decision Models Competition Saga","url":"https://digestai.news/thread/researchers-introduce-context-language-models-that-manage-their-own-context","storyCount":5},"cite":{"text":"Digest AI, \"Nace AI releases Drex Max multimodal decision model for computer-use agents\", 20 October 2026, https://digestai.news/story/nace-ai-releases-drex-max-multimodal-decision-model-for-computer-use-a","publisher":"Digest AI","title":"Nace AI releases Drex Max multimodal decision model for computer-use agents","datePublished":"2026-10-20T00:03:38Z","url":"https://digestai.news/story/nace-ai-releases-drex-max-multimodal-decision-model-for-computer-use-a"},"generatedBy":"Written by Digest AI's editorial model from the linked sources; the sources are the record.","license":"Headlines, digests and key points are written by Digest AI and may be quoted with a link to the story page.
