rasbt: Jev's Secret Sauce Is Data, Not the Algorithm — Laya Rival Falls Far Short
RichmanRonald · x · 2026-09-20
rasbt pushes back on claims that someone built Jev-like tech a year earlier: encoder classifiers were always special-purpose, and Jev's real breakthrough is generalization — likely from data plus good API design, not the training algorithm. He examined the laya model and found 512–1k context limits and coin-flip accuracy without fine-tuning: a big gap between research demo and useful product.
