HEAD TO HEAD
Convai Innovations: laya and aac6fef: laya-mlx, compared on what they decide, where they run, what they cost and what their publishers report.

| Summary | An open-weights System One model from Convai Innovations. A fully fine-tuned ModernBERT-large encoder with a from-scratch decision head that scores one marker per option and answers every question in a single 33–39 ms pass. Runs on your own CPU or GPU. | Native MLX FP16 conversion of Laya for Apple silicon. The same ModernBERT-large encoder, decision transformer and heads, running in MLX with no PyTorch; the checkpoint Laya Studio fine-tunes from. |

Figures are from each model’s manifest; accuracy and latency are what the publishers report, on their own suites and hardware. Add a third model.
laya is from Convai Innovations and laya-mlx from aac6fef. Both have open weights you can download and run. Both answer choice, score and noul questions. Only laya answers classify and route. laya-mlx is fine-tuned from laya.
Neither publishes an accuracy figure. Test both on your own labelled examples.
laya: Free (open weights). laya-mlx: Free (open weights). Open weights cost nothing per call beyond your own hardware.
Yes, both: systemone pull convai-innovations/laya and systemone pull aac6fef/laya-mlx download the weights.
