Cloudflare's open-weight decision model that classifies text or images into typed answers with probabilities for AI agents
Clef-flash
New· 6Smaller, latency-optimised Cloudflare decision model that returns probability-scored classifications of text or images
TrustList summary
Clef-flash is the smaller, latency-optimised member of Cloudflare's Clef decision-model family, released on 1 October 2026. Like Clef, it returns structured answers chosen from a defined set, each with a probability, rather than free text. It is meant for agents that make many routine classifications, where response time matters more than the last points of accuracy.
What Clef-flash does
- Structured classification: text or images are sorted into bounded answers, each scored with a probability.
- Low latency: built for high-volume decisions where response time is the priority.
- Open weights: published on Hugging Face under the Apache 2.0 licence, and it runs on Workers AI.
- Escalation path: the larger Clef model is available for harder cases.
Who it works with
Teams running agents that make high-volume decisions, where response time matters.
