Cloudflare has released Clef, a new type of AI model designed for decision-making rather than text generation. Unlike traditional language models, Clef takes a state and a set of typed questions, returning numerical scores for each answer. This approach allows for faster, more direct decision-making in applications like ticket routing. The Clef family includes three models: Clef (27B parameters), Clef-flash (9B parameters), and Clef-omni (a mixture-of-experts model), with varying costs and capabilities, including image and audio processing for some versions. Clef's weights are publicly available under an Apache 2.0 license, distinguishing it from proprietary models like Jev, though its pricing is higher than some competitors. AI
IMPACT This new decision-focused AI model could streamline automated workflows and reduce parsing overhead in applications requiring rapid classification and scoring.
