Laya v3 (Primeomicx/laya-nextflow-nfcore)
Laya v3 is an ultra-fast, local System-1 Decision Engine fine-tuned on top of ModernBERT-Large for Nextflow DSL2 and the nf-core bioinformatics ecosystem.
It is designed to make zero-latency, high-accuracy architectural decisions in autonomous pipeline compilers (such as Codaris), resolving complex setup questions without burning LLM tokens.
Key Improvements in v3
- Expanded to 11,654 Ground-Truth Decisions: Trained across 8 core architectural pillars of Nextflow workflow compilation.
- Long-Read & QC Adaptation: Resolves Nanopore Direct RNA, PacBio HiFi, and Illumina WGS/WES quality control switches (e.g. swapping FastQC for NanoPlot) with 95.0% accuracy (eliminating the v2 blindspot).
- Subworkflow Packaging: Tripled autonomous packaging accuracy (60.0% on benchmark), correctly recognizing when to bundle processes into reusable subworkflows vs using official nf-core subworkflows.
- Samplesheet Schema Inference: Autonomously infers CSV/TSV header schemas and validation constraints with 98%+ confidence, outperforming frontier LLMs.
- Ultra-Fast Local Inference: Runs in ~45–65 ms on Apple Silicon GPU and ~590 ms on CPU inside minimal Docker containers with 0 tokens consumed.

Usage
1. Python (via laya)
from laya.agent import Agent
# Automatically downloads and caches from Hugging Face Hub
agent = Agent("Primeomicx/laya-nextflow-nfcore")
# Example 1: Quality Control Adaptation for Oxford Nanopore
state = {
"assay": "Direct RNA sequencing on Oxford Nanopore PromethION",
"tool": "FastQC",
"read_type": "long_reads_direct_rna"
}
question = {
"type": "choice",
"instructions": "How should QC step FastQC be configured given sequencing characteristics: long_reads_direct_rna?",
"criteria": {
"Keep FastQC": None,
"Drop FastQC": None,
"Swap for NanoPlot": None
}
}
res = agent.predict(state, {"decision": question})
print(res["answers"]["decision"]["choice"])
# Output: "Swap for NanoPlot" (confidence: 94.2%)
2. Samplesheet Schema Inference
state = {
"field_name": "strandedness",
"datatype": "categorical",
"description": "Strandedness of RNA-seq library"
}
question = {
"type": "choice",
"instructions": "Determine JSON schema validation constraint for field strandedness:",
"criteria": {
"enum: [auto, unstranded, forward, reverse]": None,
"pattern: ^[0-9]+$": None,
"format: file-path": None
}
}
res = agent.predict(state, {"decision": question})
print(res["answers"]["decision"]["choice"])
# Output: "enum: [auto, unstranded, forward, reverse]" (confidence: 98.4%)
