Meet Cloudflare Clef-omni: A 30B-A3B Multimodal Decision Model for Audio, Video, Image and Text
Cloudflare has released Clef-omni, a new open-weight member of its Clef decision model family. Clef-omni is a Cloudflare decision model that scores text, images, audio and video in 1 call. It arrived on October 9, 2026, 8 days after the original Clef and Clef-flash launch. The same update cut Clef-flash pricing below TypeSafe’s Jev and made hosted Clef roughly 2x faster. For developers, this removes the transcription and captioning steps that multimodal agent pipelines usually need. TL
Get smart on it
A decision model is a type of AI system that returns typed answers with probabilities instead of generated text, answering questions from a predefined set of options rather than generating new content. Clef-omni is a new decision model that can process text, images, audio, and video all in a single call, removing the need for separate transcription and captioning steps that multimodal systems typically require. The model performs well on intent classification tasks but shows weaker performance on harder reasoning and workflow evaluations compared to text-focused versions. It is available as an open-source model and through a hosted service, with pricing and performance characteristics designed to serve developers building multimodal applications.
