text classification is equivalente to decision. This is exactly the same thing Jev does.

If it has four legs, a tail and barks why not call it a dog?

Because this specific dog only barks in structured text

This dog only barks when given biscuits

It is not. In a benchmark with actual decisions - navigation, traffic, waypoints - laya does only slightly better than a small classifier.

Jev does it more efficiently because it doesn't use an LLM https://typesafe.ai/blog/introducing-system-one-models-and-j...

Their marketing language is misleading. They must still use some transformer language model backbone to encode the text input (BERT or decoder-only LLM). The biggest difference is the output, instead of auto-regressively generating tokens, they produce probabilities over a bounded set of decisions (more flexible classification).
