dsh-laya

Laya typed decisions — noul (yes/no), choice, score — as a first-class Cordis service and model-visible tools for DeepSeek Harness.

English · 简体中文 · Español · Português · हिन्दी

Status: 0.1.4, work in progress. The plugin mounts and activates in the Harness, and the sidecar contract it speaks is verified end-to-end on an RTX 5060 (load 9.8 s, 411 ms for three questions on CUDA). It has not yet been exercised through a live model turn in CI.

---

Install

Two pieces, because Laya is PyTorch and therefore cannot live inside a Node plugin.

1. The sidecar — this is what actually holds the model:

pip install "laya-mcp[mcp]"
laya-mcp serve                      # loads once, listens on 127.0.0.1:8787

2. This plugin:

dsh plugin --profile <profile> add dsh-laya

Then confirm the row is active, not failed, and read the startup line — it says in as many words whether state stays on this machine.

Why the sidecar is separate

A plugin that shelled out to pip install and then downloaded a 650 MB checkpoint behind your back would be hostile, however convenient. So this plugin installs nothing and downloads nothing. It is a client of a process you start, and when that process is not running it says so rather than failing obscurely at the first tool call.

The split also buys the warm model: Laya's cold build costs seconds to tens of seconds, and its default lazy router rebuilds a checkpoint on every language switch. laya-mcp serve pays that once.

What it contributes

One service, ctx.laya — so Host code and other plugins can ask for a judgment directly, without a model round-trip:

const laya = ctx.get('laya')
const result = await laya.ask({ state, questions })

It exposes ask, plan, health, capabilities, sidecarUrl, and loopback — the last being whether state stays on this machine, as a fact rather than a policy. plan is the preflight: the same arithmetic /ask reports, with no forward pass.

Two tools — laya_ask for a batch of typed questions, and laya_plan to check the token budget before spending a forward pass.

What it is honest about

Laya truncates silently and its confidence number is widely misread, so the tool description and the response both say so:

• An oversized state is cut from the END, and the answer is then about the surviving prefix. The response reports it under truncated, and laya_plan tells you before you ask. Pass strict: true to refuse instead — verified against the live sidecar, which returns HTTP 400 with state_truncated and a hint naming max_len.
• confidence is not accuracy. It is a concentration statistic: low whenever probability is spread across options even when the top option is right, and high on a confident wrong answer. A noul also carries a no / uncertain / yes band, because a calibrated probability is not a decision — a real measured example from this stack returned 0.5457 with the band uncertain.
• A silent CPU demotion is reported. If Laya falls back to CPU after a device error it never returns to the accelerator, and nothing in its own output admits it. The health surface carries degraded, and the tool card appends CPU (degraded).

Configuration

- insert:
    - id: laya
      name: 'dsh-laya'
      config:
        sidecarUrl: 'http://127.0.0.1:8787'
        requestTimeoutMs: 120000
        lifecycle: never      # 'attach' to log a reachability check,
                              # 'spawn' to start the sidecar yourself
        spawnCommand: null    # required by 'spawn', e.g. ['laya-mcp', 'serve']
        spawnTimeoutMs: 120000
        logLevel: info

lifecycle decides what happens when nothing is answering at sidecarUrl:

never	Start nothing; assume something else manages the sidecar. The default.
attach	Also check /health once at load and log what it found — useful when the harness and the sidecar race at startup.
spawn	Also run spawnCommand if nothing answers, then wait for it to come up.

spawn exists because the alternative was worse. The plugin still installs nothing and downloads nothing — a tool that ran pip install and then fetched a 650 MB checkpoint behind your back would be hostile, and that has not changed. But launching a sidecar you already installed is a different act, and without it every session began by starting a Python process in a terminal by hand, and began failing again every time that process went away.

Two rules make it safe to leave on:

• A sidecar that is already answering is attached to and never touched, so two harness sessions cannot put two models on one port.
• A sidecar this plugin started is stopped when the plugin unmounts; one it did not start is left exactly as it was found.

There is still no option that installs anything or fetches a model, and spawnCommand has no default: this plugin will not guess at an interpreter.

Pointing sidecarUrl somewhere that is not loopback is allowed and warns once at startup, naming the destination: that is the moment the privacy story changes, and it should not be discoverable only by reading a config file.

Upstream limits worth knowing before you rely on this

Repeated from upstream's own measurements, because an integration that implies otherwise is lying to you. The base checkpoints are near chance zero-shot on typed decisions (0.362 for English against a 0.461 majority-class baseline); score is the weakest primitive (35% vs 70% for Jev in independent measurement); raw calibration error is 0.466 before temperature fitting; and accuracy falls off above roughly 20 options.

Calibration makes a probability honest. It cannot make a model right.

Applicable DSH version: verified against dsh-v0.1.7-alpha.1 (the host release this build targets); requires >=0.1.7-alpha.1 <0.2.0.
