Whether you prefer TypeSafe’s hosted Jev or an OSS decision-model stack like Laya, the economics rhyme: high-frequency decisions amplify input size.

A lot of “Jev vs LLM” comparisons assume a clean state object. In real agent loops the state is a diary. Compressing that diary with a deterministic pass (not another LLM judge) before the decision call is often worth more than shaving a question or two.
