The Laya AI model is a family of open-weight, non-autoregressive decision models from Convai Innovations designed to return structured answers and probabilities rather than free-form text. By mapping input states to specific question types like choices, scores, or propositions (noul), it provides deterministic outputs suitable for application policies in workflows such as support ticket routing. The guide details its architecture—utilizing bidirectional encoders like ModernBERT—and offers practical advice on running the model locally via Python and evaluating performance through metrics like calibration and accuracy.
- Laya uses a "state + typed questions" pattern to ensure output validity without needing complex parsing of generative prose.
- It offers three specific checkpoints: an English version, a multilingual version (mmBERT), and one optimized for typed decisions.
- The model's architecture relies on bidirectional encoders with decision heads rather than token-by-token generation.
- Users are encouraged to implement "abstention policies" where uncertain predictions (based on low confidence/calibration) are routed to humans.
