+
40
+ "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
41
+ form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the

157
+ liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
158
+ incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a

59
+ **Correctness-validated heterogeneous [Laya](https://github.com/NandhaKishorM/laya) runtime
60
+ for Apple silicon.** It runs the MLX GPU and the Apple Neural Engine at the same time, and
61
+ uses the Neural Engine only where it has been proven to give the same decisions as
62
+ upstream Laya.
63
+
64
+ **Mixed-workload throughput against GPU-only serving:**
65
+
66
+ | Model | GPU-only | GPU + ANE | Speed-up | Answer mismatches |
67
+ |---|---:|---:|---:|---:|
68
+ | laya | 41.9 req/s | 122.5 req/s | **2.92×** | 0 |
69
+ | laya-multilingual | 55.7 req/s | 241.8 req/s | **4.34×** | 0 |
70
+ | laya-typed-decisions | 24.0 req/s | 109.6 req/s | **4.57×** | 0 |
71
+
72
+ This is the v1.0 benchmark on one Apple M4 Max with macOS 26.6.2: one short and one long
73
+ request stream through one `Laya` instance. Other Macs are untested, and you can
74
+ [add yours](docs/community-benchmarks.md). The method and raw data are in
75
+ [`benchmarks/v1.0.md`](benchmarks/v1.0.md).
76
+
77
+ ## Why this exists
78
+
79
+ Laya answers typed questions about a context (`choice`, `score`, `noul`) in one forward
80
+ pass. On a Mac there are two engines that can run it, with different strengths.
81
+
82
+ 1. **Correct ANE execution.** A fast Core ML export is not necessarily correct. On the
83
+ tested Mac, the ordinary Core ML export ran on the Neural Engine without any error and
84
+ changed up to 85 decisions against upstream PyTorch. laya-apple ships an ANE artifact
85
+ only after it passes a parity gate on the machine that uses it
86
+ ([`docs/correctness.md`](docs/correctness.md)).
87
+ 2. **Automatic routing.** Short, validated single-question requests go to the ANE. Long or
88
+ multi-question requests go to the MLX GPU. The router decides before a request runs and
89
+ records why.
90
+ 3. **Concurrent GPU + ANE serving.** Both engines serve independent requests at the same
91
+ time, so short requests stop queueing behind long ones.
92
+
93
+ ## Install
94
+
95
+ From a clone (Apple silicon, Python 3.11–3.13; not on PyPI yet):
96
+
97
+ ```bash
98
+ git clone https://github.com/tc3oliver/laya-apple && cd laya-apple
99
+ uv sync --extra ane --extra convert
100
+ uv run laya-apple artifacts build laya-typed-decisions # optional: build + parity-validate ANE artifacts here (~5 min)
101
+ ```
102
+
103
+ Without `artifacts build`, or with a plain `uv sync`, everything runs on the MLX GPU.
104
+
105
+ ## Quickstart (30 seconds)
106
+
107
+ ```python
108
+ from laya_apple import Laya
109
+
110
+ model = Laya.from_pretrained(
111
+ "convaiinnovations/laya-typed-decisions",
112
+ device="auto",
113
+ )
114
+
115
+ result = model.predict(
116
+ context="The customer was charged twice for the same invoice and is frustrated.",
117
+ questions={
118
+ "urgency": {
119
+ "type": "choice",
120
+ "instructions": "How urgent is this?",
121
+ "criteria": ["low", "medium", "high"],
122
+ }
123
+ },
124
+ )
125
+ print(result.answers["urgency"]["choice"], result.answers["urgency"]["probabilities"])
126
+
127
+ rt = result.runtime
128
+ print(rt.backend, rt.device, rt.routing_reason, f"{rt.latency_ms:.1f} ms")
129
+ ```

+
131
+ On the tested machine:

137

138
+ - The first call downloads the pinned checkpoint. After that it works offline
139
+ (`local_files_only=True`).
140
+ - Without ANE artifacts, the same request runs on MLX and `routing_reason` says why.
141
+ - More: [`examples/`](examples/) (`basic.py`, `auto_routing.py`,
142
+ `heterogeneous_serving.py`) and the [user guide](docs/guide.md).
143
+
144
+ ## How auto routing works
145
+
146
+ | Request | Goes to | Why (measured on the tested Mac) |
147
+ |---|---|---|
148
+ | One question, ≤ 128 tokens, validated artifact present | **ANE** | Faster: laya-typed-decisions L128 takes 9.9 ms on the ANE against 12.2 ms on MLX (forward P50) |
149
+ | Longer context | **MLX GPU** | MLX is faster there: 19.2 ms at L256 and 71.0 ms at L1024 |
150
+ | Several questions | **MLX GPU** | MLX batches the questions; the ANE runs them one at a time |
151
+ | Unvalidated Mac, missing artifact, or no Core ML | **MLX GPU** | Recorded as `platform_not_validated`, `ane_artifact_unavailable` or `ane_runtime_unavailable` |
152
+
153
+ **The production threshold is more conservative than the measured crossover.**
154
+ laya-multilingual is slightly faster on the ANE at exactly 256 tokens (8.3 ms against
155
+ 8.6 ms), but that bucket stays explicit-only, because it does not beat MLX at the previous
156
+ bucket, 128 tokens. Every result carries `routing_reason`.
157
+
158
+ How the thresholds are derived: [`docs/support-matrix.md`](docs/support-matrix.md). How
159
+ the pieces fit together: [`docs/architecture.md`](docs/architecture.md).
160
+
161
+ ## GPU + ANE heterogeneous serving
162
+
163
+ ```python
164
+ with Laya.from_pretrained("convaiinnovations/laya-typed-decisions", execution="workers") as model:
165
+ futures = [model.submit(context=c, questions=q) for c, q in requests] # thread-safe
166
+ ```
167
+
168
+ - The GPU runs in a worker process, and the ANE on its own dispatcher.
169
+ - Each request runs on one device, chosen by the router.
170
+ - Under load, the router also compares queue backlogs.
171
+
172
+ **Short-request P99 under open-loop bursty arrivals**, measured from arrival with queueing
173
+ included (v1.0, same arrival sequence for both):
174
+
175
+ | Model | GPU-only | GPU + ANE |
176
+ |---|---:|---:|
177
+ | laya (46.2 req/s offered) | 1538.0 ms | 108.5 ms |
178
+ | laya-multilingual (83.8 req/s) | 2052.3 ms | 29.6 ms |
179
+ | laya-typed-decisions (35.8 req/s) | 1592.9 ms | 79.5 ms |
180
+
181
+ A single short request is not dramatically faster on the ANE (for example 9.9 against
182
+ 12.2 ms). The gain comes from using both engines at once.
183
+
184
+ ## Correctness
185
+
186
+ Parity against upstream Laya on PyTorch CPU FP32, over the shipped golden rows (v1.0).
187
+ Each cell gives hard mismatches, then the max probability error.
188
+
189
+ | Implementation on the tested Mac | laya | laya-multilingual | laya-typed-decisions |
190
+ |---|---|---|---|
191
+ | Ordinary Core ML export · `CPU_AND_NE` | ❌ 12, 0.56 | ❌ 85, 1.0 | ❌ 19, 0.42 |
192
+ | Ordinary Core ML export · `CPU_AND_GPU` | ✅ 0, 0.0066 | ✅ 0, 0.0059 | ✅ 0, 0.0028 |
193
+ | **laya-apple MLX FP16** | ✅ 0, 0.0037 | ✅ 0, 0.0045 | ✅ 0, 0.0017 |
194
+ | **laya-apple ANE FP16** | ✅ 0 (1 near-tie), 0.012 | ✅ 0, 0.013 | ✅ 0, 0.0077 |
195
+
196
+ - **The FP16 gate:** probability error ≤ 0.02 and 0 hard mismatches.
197
+ - **Near-tie flips** (upstream's top-two margin < 0.04) are listed, not hidden.
198
+ - **Explicit ANE requests never fall back.** They run the validated artifact or raise, and
199
+ every loaded artifact is also timed against `CPU_ONLY` to catch a silent CPU placement.
200
+ - Definitions, every configuration tested, and the fallback audit are in
201

+ **Tested:**
213
+ - Apple M4 Max, macOS 26.6.2, MLX 0.32.2, coremltools 9.0;
214
+ - Python 3.11–3.13.
215
+
216
+ **Other Apple silicon:**
217
+ - MLX is expected to work.
218
+ - `auto` stays on MLX until artifacts are built and calibrated on that machine
219
+ (`laya-apple calibrate`).

+ ## Contributing
236
+
237
+ The most useful first contribution is a benchmark from a Mac other than an M4 Max: run
238
+ the command above and open a PR with `hardware-results/`
239
+ ([how](docs/community-benchmarks.md)).
240
+
241
+ - [`CONTRIBUTING.md`](CONTRIBUTING.md) covers setup, test tiers (which tests a change
242
+ actually needs), parity checks and backend changes.
243
+ - Open work is labelled `good first issue`, `help wanted` and `research`.
244
+
245
+ ## Limitations
246
+
247
+ - **One test machine.** Every benchmark is from one Apple M4 Max on macOS 26.6.2. Routing
248
+ thresholds are not assumed to hold on other Apple SoCs.
249
+ - **Long contexts stay on MLX,** which is faster there. The ANE path is batch 1 only.
250
+ - **Isolation is partial.** Under concurrency, each stream's P99 is above its solo value.
251
+ - **Cold start** on a fresh artifact location costs 3–5 minutes of Core ML compile per
252
+ model. `ane_startup="background"` serves on MLX in the meantime.
253
+ - **`choice` decisions can depend on option order.** This comes from upstream Laya, and
254
+ laya-apple reproduces it exactly ([`research/option-order/`](research/option-order/)).
255
+ - **Not measured yet:** energy use, quantized artifacts and cross-SoC validation.
