Nace AI Releases Drex Search Agent: 92.05% on BrowseComp-Plus with 12.6 Average Search Calls

Nace AI has released Drex, a search-specialized AI agent that achieves 92.05% on the BrowseComp-Plus benchmark using an average of just 12.6 search calls per query. BrowseComp-Plus is a rigorous benchmark for multi-hop web research tasks, making this result a meaningful signal of search agent efficiency. The low call count is particularly notable — it suggests Drex is using selective, high-quality retrieval rather than brute-force iteration, which has direct implications for latency and cost in production search agent deployments. Developers building research agents or retrieval-augmented generation pipelines should evaluate Drex as a component or architectural reference. The open release makes it immediately accessible for integration and benchmarking against existing solutions.
