We were wondering how many computer use tasks actually need a full general purpose LLM (e.g. gpt-6-astra, claude-opus-5 etc.) to think through all their decisions and steps. Some tasks require thinking about a plan, exploring different paths, recovering from failure. Other tasks are a question of making local decisions, like this value should go in this box, or should I check this box, or this element should be ignored.

This model makes calibrated, typed decisions about an image plus optional text. It answers choice, score and noul (yes/no probability) questions in one forward pass, with no text generation. It adds image input to Laya by replacing Laya's ModernBERT encoder with SmolVLM-256M-Instruct. Laya's predict(state, questions) API, proper-scoring-rule training and temperature calibration are unchanged. check out the live demo at https://huggingface.co/spaces/thaitea/laya-vision-demo and the source - https://huggingface.co/thaitea/laya-vision-smolvlm-256m - https://github.com/r33drichards/laya-vision Coβ¦
