Benchmark ledger
External signals opens by default. The marker compares each value with the best source-verified result in the catalog; provisional leaders do not set the reference. Expand the remaining categories for every published row.

Lineage
The sequence follows explicit supersedes links. Each score is estimated for that model; a relative can inform a sparse estimate but never sets a floor, so a newer release can score below an earlier one. Scores and prices remain blank when the corresponding public row or first-party rate is unavailable.

How to read this profile
The visual layer above carries the decisions. These notes preserve the model, ranking, coverage, and family context behind the numbers.
We track Drex Max, but the public leaderboard excludes this profile until enough non-generated benchmark coverage is available. Only published rows appear above.
Drex Max is a open weight model with a 262K context window. No explicit reasoning mode is documented in this profile.
Hosted Nace.AI API (POST /v1/systemone, model drex-max) at $0.03 per million input tokens with output not billed, and open weights on Hugging Face (nace-ai/drex-max-v1) under the Nace.AI Open RAIL-M license, with Q8_0 GGUF and affine Q4 builds. Up to 8 images per request; 262,144-token window.
Nace.AI released Drex Max on October 13, 2026, a dense 27B multimodal decision model (64 layers, 255-way readout head) that reads text and images and returns a probability per option without generating text. Nace.AI reports 67.52 on the public Decision Index 0.4 suite. Decision-board results stay display-only; Nace-run model-card scores are not copied into board fields.
Drex Max sits in the Drex Max family with Drex Max v1.1. 6 of 802 tracked benchmark slots currently have displayable evidence. Missing categories stay blank.
Last updated November 5, 2026. Runtime fields remain blank until a sourced snapshot exists.
Deployment options
Self-host and provider-specific paths stay separate from benchmark evidence so operating constraints are visible before a score becomes the whole decision.
Published weights are available, but BenchLM does not yet have a sourced parameter and VRAM profile for this exact model. Hardware cost estimates stay unavailable until that sizing record is complete.
Estimate VRAM from known parametersQuestions
How does Drex Max perform overall in AI benchmarks?
Drex Max has 6 source-displayable benchmark rows, but it does not qualify for a public overall rank. The available rows remain visible by category without being converted into a site-wide score. Missing evidence stays blank instead of being estimated from an earlier model.
Is Drex Max open source?
Drex Max is an open-weight model from Nace.AI. Its weights can be downloaded for local or hosted deployment, subject to the published license. Open weight does not automatically mean open source: training data and training code may remain private, and commercial restrictions can still apply.
Which sibling models are related to Drex Max?
Drex Max belongs to the Drex Max family. Related tracked variants include Drex Max v1.1. A sibling link indicates shared lineage or a documented configuration relationship; it does not mean the variants have identical pricing, context limits, benchmark evidence, or deployment behavior. Compare before switching.
Does Drex Max have full benchmark coverage on BenchLM?
No. Drex Max currently has 12 source-displayable rows. The profile exposes published, non-generated evidence and leaves missing categories blank until an exact evaluation is available. Coverage describes how much was measured; it is not a penalty added to an individual benchmark result.
What is the context window size of Drex Max?
Drex Max has a documented context window of 262K. That figure is the maximum combined prompt and retained-conversation space reported for this exact model; it is not the maximum output length. The profile keeps output limits separate because providers often publish those limits independently.
