Cloudflare makes Clef up to 2x faster on Workers AI
Top News
If your application needs to choose an allowed answer rather than generate text, Clef-omni scores those answers in one pass. The open-weight multimodal decision model is available on Cloudflare Workers AI at $0.150 per million input tokens.
Here's what changed:
- Clef-omni accepts text, images, audio, and video, and aligns video frames with the soundtrack.
- Hosted input costs $0.150 per million tokens for Clef-omni and $0.240 for Clef, both with 64K context. Clef-flash costs $0.038 per million input tokens.
- Reported response times are about 20 ms for text, under 100 ms for images or audio, and about 300 ms for a 21-second video with sound.
- Serving optimizations make Clef up to 2x faster on Workers AI without changing its weights.
One catch: The Clef-flash price cut reduced hosted context from 64K to 24K tokens.
Try it: On Workers AI, use model ID @cf/cloudflare/clef-omni and set the model selector to clef-omni.
