Clef-Flash
Cloudflare
- Released
- October 1, 2026
- Data date
- October 3, 2026
Clef-Flash is Cloudflare’s smaller variant with 9 billion parameters. Like Clef, it evaluates supplied state through typed questions and returns Choice, Noul, and Score as probabilities. It does not generate an explanation. Text, JSON, images, and video remain supported inputs.
Qwen3.5-9B and a vision encoder form its base. Cloudflare specifies a 64k-token context. It is available through Workers AI as @cf/cloudflare/clef-flash for $0.09 per 1M input tokens, as well as a local Apache-2.0 checkpoint. The free neuron allowance is shared across the account. Its smaller design targets a faster structured readout, not a chat dialogue.
