Laya is the first open model from Convai Innovations, a small AI company in Kasaragod, Kerala, India. It landed on Hugging Face on September 18, 2026, three days after TypeSafe AI opened early access to Jev. It does the same strange thing Jev does: it cannot write a single sentence. The difference is that you can download it, run it on your own machine and pay nothing.
Laya is a System One decision model. You give it a piece of state, such as a ticket, an email or a JSON document, plus a few typed questions. It returns one typed answer per question with a calibrated probability, in about 33 milliseconds, without generating any text. Convai’s tagline is “decisions, not text”, almost word for word Jev’s “Decisions, not strings.” That is no coincidence, and the story behind it is half the reason Laya went viral.
