Laya: a 421M open-source decision model as a Jev alternative
Laya is an open-source decision model that runs locally and supports yes/no, scoring and multiple choice; in a 30-second Snake benchmark against cloud-based Jev it reached 86.5 versus 3.2 decisions per second, but its context is only 512-1024 tokens.
🔥 looks like Jev just got an open-source alternative. Laya is a 421M parameter model built for making decisions instead of generating text. the interesting part: - runs locally on your laptop or phone - uses less than 1GB of memory - supports structured decisions (yes/no, scoring, multiple choice) - free + open source in a 30-second Snake benchmark against cloud-based Jev: Laya: 86.5 decisions/sec, score 46 Jev: 3.2 decisions/sec, score 1 the catch? Laya has a 512–1024 token context window and doesn't generalize as well as Jev without additional tuning.
