See Layer working, live.

Every demo is a real app built on Layer that reimplements nothing. Each composes shipped gateway features over a different corpus and makes the gateway's decisions visible in the UI. The status and latency below are measured from your browser, right now — the same habit the demos have of showing their work.

BEIR/SciFact abstracts · ~5,000 abstracts

Hybrid text fusion, proven with qrels.

Purely lexical — no embeddings, no GPU. One query fans out into a BM25 leg plus a fuzzy leg per token, fused by reciprocal rank fusion. SciFact ships qrels, so every search scores nDCG@10 and shows a fusion inspector.

Simple English Wikipedia · 283,997 articles · 1.74M rows

All of Simple English Wikipedia, routed and embedded on CPU.

The routing hero at corpus scale: one Auto query routes each search to full-text, semantic, or a fused RRF blend, and the UI renders the gateway's routing echo beside every result. The semantic leg is Lattice — an ~8 MB int4 lookup-table model served in-process on the gateway CPU. No GPU anywhere in the write or query path.

Wikimedia Commons Quality images · CLIP on CPU

Text-to-image search with zero GPUs.

Cross-modal search: type sunset over water, get sunsets. The schema is two lines — an image_url attribute with a local CLIP embedding profile. The gateway runs CLIP's image tower in-process on CPU at write time and the text tower at query time; the app contains no embedding, tokenizer, or image-preprocessing code.

Live Ashby & Greenhouse postings · refreshed daily

A search & AI jobs board with earned facets.

Daily pipelines index first-party public job postings; a guided-decoded Gemma cascade extracts location, work mode, salary, sponsorship, and role class as filterable facets. Every extracted value must clear a confidence floor and quote exact evidence from the posting — missing or ambiguous evidence stays unstated rather than guessed.
