Cloudflare says its new Clef model means humans no longer need to be in the loop for AI agents
Cloudflare launched open-weight Clef and Clef-flash decision models so AI agents can act without a human in the loop.
Cloudflare released Clef and Clef-flash, decision models that return classified answers with probabilities for agent routing rather than free-form text. Clef is based on Qwen3.8-27B and Clef-flash on Qwen3.5-9B; Cloudflare reports median latencies of about 209 ms and 39 ms, versus just over 524 ms for TypeSafe AI's Jev. Both run on Workers AI, are on Hugging Face under Apache-2.0, support a 64,000-token context and images, and can be fine-tuned through a new reinforcement-learning service using Replicate technology.
