Celeris-1 Decision vs Drex 1.5

Celeris-1 Decision

Typed probabilities, image inputs and optional explanations suit routing and classification inside an agent. Both System One and OpenAI Decisions request formats are documented. The service remains early access under its terms, activation can queue, and prepaid credit expires after 30 days. The published accuracy and latency figures are Celeris measurements, not Anchor Terminal tests.

Drex 1.5

The hosted endpoint has a public OpenAPI document, published limits and pinned model versions, at $0.05 per million input tokens with no output charge. The #1 under 10B claim rests on Nace's own run, since Drex is absent from both public boards. Weights carry Open RAIL-M, which requires a commercial licence above $1 million in revenue or funding.

Celeris-1 Decision

1. Use the decision model path and matching model field. This model has no chat, Responses or models endpoint.
2. Use at most 512 questions per request, or 64 with explanations. Both endpoints reject streaming.
3. Preserve x_celeris in a custom Jev SDK response model when reading explanations. The default response type drops it.
4. Retry 429 with Retry-After and backoff. Stop on 402 until workspace credit is replenished.
5. Read usage.input_tokens for cost, including images and request overhead. Track credit expiry separately from token consumption.

Drex 1.5

1. Call https://console.nace.ai/v1/systemone with Authorization: Bearer nace_sk_..., and pin model drex-v1.5 rather than drex-latest in production.
2. Stop on 402 insufficient_credit or 402 payment_required until credit is topped up or the unpaid invoice is paid.
3. Retry 429 and 529 after retry-after-ms. On a 422 for an unknown model, use one of the ids the error message lists.
4. Keep state below 131,072 tokens and the body below 1,048,576 bytes, and send at most 512 questions per request.
5. Keep the key on a server. A key in browser code is exposed, and the /v1 routes send no Access-Control-Allow-Origin header.
6. Check usage.input_tokens and the usage CSV after retries, since /v1/systemone documents no idempotency key.
