Nace AI Open-Sources Drex Max v1: A 27B Decision Model for Local Apple Silicon Inference

Nace AI has released Drex Max v1, a 27-billion-parameter model specifically designed for decision-making tasks and optimized to run locally on Apple Silicon hardware. The model is fully open-sourced, making it accessible for developers who want to run capable decision-support or reasoning models on MacBook Pro or Mac Studio hardware without cloud dependencies. A 27B model running efficiently on Apple Silicon represents a meaningful capability threshold for on-device agentic workflows, particularly for enterprise applications requiring data privacy. Developers can integrate Drex Max v1 into local pipelines for tasks such as policy selection, planning, or multi-step reasoning. This release adds to a growing ecosystem of locally deployable large models targeting the Apple Silicon platform.
