Cloudflare debuts open-weight multimodal decision models Clef and Clef-flash, claiming they are smarter and faster than Jev, based on Qwen3.8-27B and Qwen3.5-9B (Brandon Vigliarolo/The Register)
Cloudflare says Clef trades higher cost for multimodal decision-making and local availability.
The models are open-weight and aimed at decisions, not text generation. Clef is based on Qwen3.8-27B, while Clef-flash is based on Qwen3.5-9B. The note says Cloudflare claims they beat Jev on speed and intelligence, and can handle images and video. They are available on Hugging Face for users with enough local hardware. Techmeme's note
