Laya vs Jev Arena: a Snake race and a fighting game
Both models get identical inputs and questions in unscripted matches, as shown in a Prompt Engineer video; only the model changes.

pg-laya: Laya decisions inside PostgreSQL
Astrid's Postgres extension, written in Rust on Candle, runs the model in the database so a typed decision is a SQL call.
Laya-MLX ties a custom JAX build on a local game benchmark
Tom Siwik argues that framing the decision space and batching matter more than the model: over the network Jev wins, locally the two tie.
pydecide: one Python client with fallback across decision backends
Typed questions against Jev, OpenRouter, Laya or cross-encoders, with a confidence policy that moves to the next backend on errors or low confidence.

Daniel Tremer's agent plays Hordes.io from screenshots: Apple Vision reads the screen, Qwen on MLX plans and Laya on Core ML makes each decision.
A hypermedia browser that chooses links by meaning
Akihito Koriyama's Semantic Browser follows HAL links by their ALPS semantics, with Laya-MLX giving each link a probability.
