Convai Innovations: laya-noulxp-gpu and Nandakishor M: vega, compared on what they decide, where they run, what they cost and what their publishers report.

| Summary | Unofficial NoulXP package of Convai Innovations' Laya (English) (Apache-2.0), fp16: checked against the model's own answers, none changed. Not made by Convai Innovations. | Nandakishor M's typed-decision model. A frozen Qwen3.5 backbone is read, never trained, and cut off mid-stack; a small trained physics engine settles each choice, score or yes/no question into calibrated probabilities, a conformal set and an abstain flag. 0.8B and 4B. |

On his own set of 2,050 choice decisions over six intent workflows (esci, clinc150, appliances, banking77, when2call, apibank), one choice question each, which he has not published with its question wording, he reports 0.763 (calibration error 0.026) for the 0.8B with its public_intents adapter, 0.389 without the adapter and 0.803 for the 4B with it. He publishes no accuracy for the typed_decisions adapters |

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-noulxp-gpu is from Convai Innovations and vega from Nandakishor M. Both have open weights you can download and run. Both answer choice, score, noul, classify and route questions. vega reads up to 72K tokens of state, against 512 tokens for laya-noulxp-gpu. laya-noulxp-gpu is the smaller model, at 421M parameters to 800M.
Only vega publishes an accuracy figure (55.6% on His 11 October 2026 benchmark, published with its results and its harness (a notebook in vegaml): macro accuracy over 43 public tasks for the 0.8B, 0.717 for the 4B; with JevBench (231 items) and DecisionBench (1,075 rows), 3,841 decisions in all, seed 20261011. On his own set of 2,050 choice decisions over six intent workflows (esci, clinc150, appliances, banking77, when2call, apibank), one choice question each, which he has not published with its question wording, he reports 0.763 (calibration error 0.026) for the 0.8B with its public_intents adapter, 0.389 without the adapter and 0.803 for the 4B with it. He publishes no accuracy for the typed_decisions adapters); laya-noulxp-gpu does not, so there is no comparison to make without your own test.
laya-noulxp-gpu: Free (open weights). vega: Free (open weights). Open weights cost nothing per call beyond your own hardware.
Yes, both: systemone pull convai-innovations/laya-noulxp-gpu and systemone pull nandakishorm/vega download the weights.
