Running a local selector inside an application that will not hand it the keys.

What it does

A local-first coding workspace that connects several agents through one protocol, routes a fresh task to one of the backends the user has allowed, and keeps a record of every decision. Laya runs locally as the selector; Jev is an optional hosted alternative.

The repository's own description: “Local-first macOS coding workspace with local Laya and optional Jev decision selection”

How it works

Eligible routes are prepared by the application, the selector picks one from that set, and permission checks owned by the host run before anything is applied — so a wrong choice is a rejected route rather than an executed one.

What we did not check. Whether the selector is better than the deterministic rules it replaces. The repository describes the architecture and the safety checks; it publishes no comparison of routing quality.

The topic

Every record, by kind of work The same rows cut a second way, across every column.
What self-hosting costs Hardware, memory, and the failure modes of running it yourself.
What the licence allows Apache-2.0 weights, three checkpoints, and the limits that come with them.

By kind of work

Runtime ports 24 Getting the weights onto someone else's hardware: MLX on a Mac, Core ML on the Neural Engine, ggml in C++, candle in Rust, ONNX in Node.
Serving and API 10 Standing the model up as something else can call, usually behind Jev's own wire format.
Agents and tools 7 Typed decisions inside an agent loop: routing, evals, guardrails, memory, and the plumbing around them.
Browser and computer use 2 Deciding the next click, key or field on a real screen.
Games and demos 10 The model playing something you can watch. Most of this model's traffic arrived through one of these.
Benchmarks and evaluation 24 Numbers somebody actually ran — including the ones that say Laya lost.
