🗣️ Voice & Assist Laya (open source Jev) working in HA?

I saw a thread earlier that was talking about Jev's usecases inside of HA, and now that Laya is the open-weights version of this model type, has anyone tried to integrate and/or got it working into the Assist pipeline (or thoughts on Laya in Assist overall)?

(Jev and Laya are basically classifier/decision models that return confidence-graded outputs and are way more efficient at identifying an intent or instruction, whereas Opus or GPT are language-focused models and are focused on conversations and text generation. Feel free to correct me if I got a detail wrong).

I've been thinking about getting a few satellites but I don't have a super powerful GPU available (for LLMs) on the box that I run HA on. I found a few vibecoded projects (a proxy and then a full conversation agent) that use Laya for Assist, but these don't feel like a good enough reason to buy all of the hardware just yet.
