Laya: an AI that decides instead of writing
AIshowtrading

An open model that answers "which option", "how much" and "yes or no" in 33 ms. How it differs from Jev and where it fits on stage and in algorithmic trading.

In short: Laya is not a chatbot. It doesn't write text, code or explanations. It makes choices, and it makes them fast.

Large language models generate text that you then have to parse. For decisions inside a program that is slow and unreliable. Laya belongs to a different class of models ("System 1"): it takes a state and typed questions and, in a single forward pass, returns an answer from options you defined, with a probability. It has no room to make an answer up.
