Laya

What it does

Laya is a Python library with small AI models that answer fixed questions about a piece of text: pick one label from a list, give a score, or say yes or no, with a confidence number. A typical use is sorting support tickets or emails by department and urgency, in many languages. It is meant for developers building such features. You need Python 3.10 or newer; the models (about 2.3 GB for all three) download from Hugging Face on first use. A graphics card makes it faster but is optional, and a local test web page is included.

How easy it is to install

C · install 1 or 2 tools · Windows

There is no Windows installer; you install Python, then run a few commands (python -m pip install laya) or the included start.bat from a copy of the repository, and the models download on first use.

What Radar could not check

Whether the accuracy and speed figures in the README (for example, 33 ms per question on a T4 graphics card) hold on your own data and computer
The model files are downloaded from Hugging Face at run time, and what arrives depends on that source unless you pin a reviewed version
Real disk and memory use once the models are downloaded and loaded
How well the included start.bat works on a typical Windows computer without a graphics card
