Founder says he built non-autoregressive decision models a year before TypeSafe's Jev, but was ignored

ConvAI Innovations founder Nandakishor Mukkunnoth claims he published an arXiv paper (March 2025) on non-autoregressive decision models with RL, plus open weights, datasets and a PyPI package, a year before TypeSafe AI (co-founded by ex-OpenAI's Diogo Almeida) launched Jev as a "breakthrough". A commenter tested the laya model: only 512-1k context, and accuracy is near coin-flip without fine-tuning. The takeaway: a usable, packaged product beats prior research and storytelling — just like ChatGPT wasn't first either.
