HEAD TO HEAD
Convai Innovations: laya and TextCortex: laya-cybersec, compared on what they decide, where they run, what they cost and what their publishers report.
| Property | convai-innovations/laya | textcortex/laya-cybersec |
|---|---|---|
| Summary | An open-weights System One model from Convai Innovations. A fully fine-tuned ModernBERT-large encoder with a from-scratch decision head that scores one marker per option and answers every question in a single 33–39 ms pass. Runs on your own CPU or GPU. | Laya fine-tune that scans untrusted text (extracted files, knowledge-base documents, agent skills, tool descriptions) for prompt injection and data exfiltration in English and German, as a noul question answered in one forward pass. 322M parameters, PyTorch and ONNX. |

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 is from Convai Innovations and laya-cybersec from TextCortex. Both have open weights you can download and run. Both answer noul and classify questions. Only laya answers choice, score and route. laya-cybersec reads up to 1K tokens of state, against 512 tokens for laya. laya-cybersec is the smaller model, at 322M parameters to 421M. laya is licensed apache-2.0; laya-cybersec, other.
Neither publishes an accuracy figure. Test both on your own labelled examples.
laya: Free (open weights). laya-cybersec: Free (open weights). Open weights cost nothing per call beyond your own hardware.
By their publishers’ figures, laya answers in about 39.5 ms at the median and laya-cybersec in about 95.4 ms — measured on different hardware, so treat it as a rough guide.
Yes, both: systemone pull convai-innovations/laya and systemone pull textcortex/laya-cybersec download the weights.
