| Model swappable· | no public information apipass.dev · checked Aug 3, 2026 | Models can be swapped without changing integration code — the same API and response shape is used across Laya and Clef. “Same API, same answers format: change one field, and measure on your own texts.”layahost.com · checked Oct 14, 2026 |
