Cloudflare releases open-weight Clef decision models
Cloudflare introduced Clef and Clef-flash, open-weight multimodal models designed for decision tasks involving text, images and video. The models are based on Qwen architectures and can be downloaded from Hugging Face for local use, although The Register reported that running them requires substantial hardware and costs more than the company’s earlier Jev model.
Why it matters
The release gives developers another downloadable option for multimodal decision systems outside proprietary model APIs.
