A small decision and routing model that picks a choice, scores something or verifies a claim in one pass, in about 25 milliseconds, without writing any text. Served as a REST API or a Gradio demo. Laya Decision Engine is a kit in the Developer category, listed by Mindket. It is free. This is version 1, last updated on 2026-11-12. Download it on this page, a zip of its files. Nothing in it runs by itself. Made by saleejkuruniyan ## About ### What it is Laya is a small model, about 150M parameters, that makes quick decisions instead of writing text. It handles three kinds of question in a single forward pass. A choice picks one option, a score rates something on a scale, and a verification checks a claim. Because it never generates text, it cannot make up an answer. The README aims for responses under 30 milliseconds and offers it as a REST service or as a Hugging Face demo. ### Who it suits It suits developers who run an AI pipeline and want a cheap, fast step to route work, such as deciding which tool or format a task needs, before a larger model is called. | Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Edtech | Content teams | Route a lesson concept to the right diagram or video engine | Sending a ray optics concept to a plotting library | | AI platforms | Backend engineers | Pre-route requests before calling an expensive model | Saving tokens on every routed diagram or section | | Education tools | Developers | Sort exam flashcards into action types | Marking a card as draw and label, memorize or explain | | AI development | Developers | Test the decision API from a script | Calling the predict endpoint from a Python client | Skip it if you need a model that writes or explains in text, since this one only returns decisions. ### Where to use it The engine runs in these places. - A web browser, on the Space's page at Hugging Face - A Docker container on your own machine or a server, serving a REST API - A Docker Compose setup, or an EC2 host such as the README describes - Your own Python code, through the REST API | Use case | Who | What they get back | | --- | --- | --- | | Choose between options | Pipeline builders | The picked option with a confidence and probabilities | | Health check the service | Operators | A short status reply | | Try it in a browser | Anyone curious | A demo page on Hugging Face | ### How to set it up Online you only need a browser. For your own copy you need these. - Python 3.12 for the Gradio demo, or Docker for the REST service - Python and pip, for the hf download command - Room for a model of about 300 MB 1. Install the huggingface\_hub package. 2. Download the Space's files into a folder with the hf command. 3. Move into that folder. 4. Install gradio and the packages in requirements.txt. 5. Start the demo with python app.py. ```sh pip install -U huggingface_hub hf download saleejkuruniyan/laya-api --repo-type space --local-dir laya-api cd laya-api pip install gradio pip install -r requirements.txt python app.py ``` For the REST service, build the image and run it in Docker, or use Docker Compose. ```sh docker build -t laya-api . docker run -d --name laya -p 8000:8000 --restart unless-stopped laya-api ``` ```sh docker compose up -d ``` ### How to use it Send a JSON request to the predict endpoint with a short description of the situation and the questions to answer. Each question names its type, instructions and the criteria for each option. A health endpoint reports whether the service is up. The repository includes test\_client.py and test\_curl.sh to try it. ```json { "state": "Ray diagram showing refraction of white light through a triangular glass prism splitting into VIBGYOR colors.", "questions": { "diagram_engine": { "type": "choice", "instructions": "Which diagram engine is best suited for rendering this concept?", "criteria": { "matplotlib": "ray optics, light mechanics, magnetic field lines, coordinate graphs, vectors", "svg": "electrical circuits, resistors in parallel/series, logic gates, chemical glassware", "generative_ai": "biological specimens, organ cross-sections, human anatomy, realistic 3D scenes" } } } } ``` | Tool | What it does | | --- | --- | | choice | Picks one option from a list you describe | | score | Gives an ordinal rating | | noul | Verifies a claim | | POST /predict | Takes the request above and returns the answers | | GET /healthz | Reports that the service is healthy | ### Example You send the prism diagram description and ask which diagram engine fits best. The service answers matplotlib with a confidence of 0.89, and shows 0.08 for svg and 0.03 for generative\_ai, in about 25 milliseconds. ### For newcomers and experts If you are new, think of it as a fast multiple choice grader. You describe a situation and the options, and it picks one without writing a sentence. Start with the demo page. If you know the field, it is a non-autoregressive decision model, so one forward pass yields the answer and no tokens are sampled. Self-hosted on CPU the README reports about 20 to 25 milliseconds, against about 35 milliseconds plus network time on ZeroGPU. Describe the state in JSON → List the questions and options → One forward pass scores every option → The API returns the pick and probabilities ### Good to know The README compares the two ways to run it, and it recommends self-hosting for steady use. | Topic | Hugging Face ZeroGPU | Self-hosted | | --- | --- | --- | | Model size | About 150M parameters | About 150M parameters | | Daily quota | About 5 minutes, used up after 5 to 8 calls | No quota | | Speed | About 35 ms plus a network hop | About 20 to 25 ms on CPU | | API | Gradio queue stream | REST requests to predict | - License: apache-2 - Cost to run: no fee named for self-hosting. The README says the ZeroGPU demo has a daily quota - Data it reaches: the state and questions you send, and the model files it keeps in a Hugging Face cache folder - Not for: generating text, since it only returns decisions ## README ````markdown # Laya Decision Engine A small decision and routing model that picks a choice, scores something or verifies a claim in one pass, in about 25 milliseconds, without writing any text.
