laya-Ascend

Ascend NPU fork of the Laya decision checkpoints that answers Jev-style Choice, Score and Noul questions in a single forward pass on Huawei 910B hardware. It reports 37-47 ms median for a four-question request, 33.8x-70.9x faster than one container CPU thread.

About this project

Multilingual, non-autoregressive System 1 decision engine. Typed decisions over 100+ languages in a single forward pass — 33 ms — trained with reinforcement learning against strictly proper scoring rules (RLCD), with a router that picks the right checkpoint per request. Laya is a multilingual, non-autoregressive System 1 decision engine for typed decisions over text, with CPU and Ascend NPU inference support.

Quoted from the project's README. Read the full README.

Highlights

  • Fork of the Apache-2.0 Laya checkpoints adding Huawei Ascend 910B inference support
  • 37-47 ms median for a four-question request, 33.8x-70.9x faster than one container CPU thread
  • An output-equivalent SDPA decision head avoids torch_npu's CPU fallback on aten::_transformer_encoder_layer_fwd
  • Answers choice, score and noul questions over 100+ languages with a router that picks a checkpoint per request
  • README-Ascend.md covers CANN environment setup, package installation and model download

Watch out

Apache-2.0. Needs a working Ascend/CANN environment. The repo is a fork of Laya, an independent decision engine rather than TypeSafe's hosted Jev; the shared typed question shapes are the connection.

Open decision models from a self-improvement loop that publishes every experiment, failures included. They answer Noul, Choice and Score questions on the same POST /v1/systemone wire format as Jev, returning a calibrated probability per option in one forward pass; the 27B scores 65.64 on the Decision Index 0.3 set.

Jev takes text only; Clef-omni adds image, audio, and video input and Liquid d1 adds images, each keeping the same typed-answer shape. Where that matters, where it does not, and the costs the vendors underplay.
