Laya

Open-source (Apache 2.0) non-autoregressive System 1 decision engine from ConvAI Innovations. It returns typed choice, score and yes/no answers with calibrated probabilities in one forward pass of about 33 ms, across 100+ languages, as an open-weights counterpart to TypeSafe AI's closed Jev.

Tests whether the open Laya model on Apple's MLX can stand in for a paid judge, scoring model outputs locally with typed answers.

Tobias built his own Snake benchmark and ran the Jev API against Laya-MLX and Kev-4B on a low-RAM MacBook. Honest take: Jev wins on quality, locals win on speed.

An MCP server and skill that gives the oh-my-pi coding agent typed decisions from a local Laya model in milliseconds and with zero LLM tokens.

Hope

Hope put both models in a 1v1 Doom deathmatch, first to five kills. Jev's calls were sharper and needed a third of the corrections; Laya decided twice as often.

A Pi coding-agent extension that uses a local Laya or remote Jev decision model to judge task difficulty and switch to a cheaper or stronger LLM.
