This is the English 421M checkpoint result, not a score for every Laya variant.
Model fit · JevBench v1.3.0
The choice depends on the exact checkpoint, language, input length, and who will operate inference.
Laya is a family of open checkpoints with English, multilingual, and typed-decision variants. Jev is designed to answer typed decisions without a fine-tuning run.
Evidence that changes the decision
The JevBench row is one evaluated configuration: Laya English ModernBERT-large (421M), run on CPU with a 512-token budget. Other Laya checkpoints need their own evaluation.

Open weights
Local execution is an important advantage when data must stay in your network.
Choose by the state of your dataset
01
Define questions at request time and get a zero-shot baseline before committing to a training dataset.
02
Open checkpoints let your team select a language or typed-decision variant and keep inference inside its own environment.
03
The mmBERT checkpoint targets 100+ languages and can run in your environment; verify quality per language on your data.
Build and ownership
Jev · ready-to-call API
The shorter path is useful while the product team is still learning which labels and edge cases matter.
Laya · open weights
Self-hosting can make sense at scale, but the team takes on checkpoint selection, evaluation, calibration, monitoring, and serving.
Deployment checklist
Sources and scope
The JevBench Laya row refers to the English ModernBERT-large 421M checkpoint evaluated on CPU with a 512-token budget. Laya currently publishes multiple checkpoints with different language and context capabilities; benchmark the exact checkpoint and hardware you plan to deploy.
