What actually separates them
One you run, one you call
Jev is a hosted API: no weights to operate, but a key, a network round trip and a vendor version number in the path of every decision. laya-vision-smolvlm-256m is yours to run, which removes all three and hands you the operational cost instead.
One has been measured and one has not
We ran Jev on a frozen 2,000-decision split and published accuracy, calibration and a risk and coverage curve. Nobody outside its own authors has published anything comparable for laya-vision-smolvlm-256m. That is a gap in the evidence, not a verdict about the model.
Settle it on your traffic
This page narrows the choice to the rows that matter. A private benchmark runs laya-vision-smolvlm-256m and Jev on a frozen set of your own historical decisions and returns accuracy at every coverage level, so you can see which one clears your error budget.
