One Call to Decide Across Audio, Video, Images and Text Clef-omni is Cloudflare's multimodal decision model and the third member of the Clef family, after Clef and Clef-flash. It is built on a 30B-parameter mixture-of-experts backbone with 3B active parameters. It takes a state and typed questions and returns a probability for every allowed option, not generated text. It is the only Clef model that reads audio and video. That makes it a fit for moderation, routing and guardrails over mixed media without transcription pipelines. Access Clef-omni via AnyAPI.ai

Performance

Single-Pass Scoring Across Four Modalities, Without Transcription Steps

Clef-omni runs one prefill pass over the full payload and scores every option. That removes the overhead of transcribing or captioning incoming files. Cloudflare reports median decisions of about 130 ms for text, about 150 ms with images, and about 1.5 seconds for a 21-second video with sound. These are vendor figures. Nothing is generated, so there is no output parsing and latency tracks input size. In production, one request can replace a transcribe, split and classify chain. It suits closed-set decisions, not open-ended answers.

Benchmarks

Decision Index: Mid-Table Overall, Strong Calibration

The public Decision Index added a Clef-omni row on October 10, 2026. It is a lab run by the Index, not a Cloudflare submission. The Full score is 49.32, 27th of 117 rows, against 60.11 for Jev and 53.08 for Clef. On public benchmarks alone it scores 56.54, 16th. Calibration error is 0.040, lower than Jev's 0.074. Treat it as a solid, well-calibrated multimodal option, not a leader on every task. Validate on your own data.

Technical Specifications

What the model supports

Clef-omni accepts text, JSON, images, audio and video, and outputs probabilities per option, not text. Workers AI lists a 64,000-token context window. Media tokens count toward that window together with the questions. If they exceed it, the request fails. Otherwise, text state is truncated. Per-request media caps matter most in practice: 4 images, 4 audio clips and 2 videos, each with size and duration limits. Long recordings need chunking before they reach the model.

Comparison

Clef-omni or Clef: Do You Need Audio and Video?

Clef and Clef-omni are sibling Cloudflare decision models. They share the System One API, typed question schema and probability outputs. The difference is input and backbone: Clef-omni adds audio and video on a 30B-A3B MoE, while Clef is a dense 27B model for text and images. Cloudflare's tables show Clef-omni beating Clef on four of ten tasks and trailing it on all five workflow scores. The decision is modality coverage versus text-task accuracy.

Choose Clef-omni when decisions depend on audio or video, or when you want to remove transcription and frame-splitting stages. It also carries a lower input rate than Clef. Choose Clef when inputs are text and images, especially for workflow-style tasks such as invoice processing and security incidents, where Cloudflare's results and the Decision Index Full score (53.08 versus 49.32) favor it. Both are listed with a 64K hosted context window.

Limitations & Trade-offs

Where Clef Omni falls short

1
No generated text. Clef-omni returns probabilities for options you define. Like the rest of the Clef family, it does not generate text.It cannot explain its decision, draft replies, summarize media or hold a conversation. Any action step, such as writing a response or calling tools, needs a separate generative model. If your workload needs free-form output or reasoning traces, choose an LLM instead.
2
Weaker on text workflow evals and tool-need detection. In Cloudflare's own results, home appliances accuracy is 69.3 versus 97.73 for Clef-flash, When2Call is 63.3 versus 80.97 for Jev, and Clef-omni trails Clef on all five workflow metrics. For text-only routing, invoice processing or security triage, Clef or Jev may be the better fit. Clef-omni earns its place when audio or video is in the input.
3
Tight media and context caps. The 64,000-token window is shared by media and questions. Requests accept up to 4 images, up to 4 audio clips (8 MiB and 300 seconds each) and up to 2 videos (16 MiB and 60 seconds each). Media must be embedded, since remote URLs are not accepted. Long calls, meetings or footage must be chunked, and long text state is truncated, which can hide evidence.
4
Mostly vendor-run evidence. Every figure in the launch tables is vendor-run on Cloudflare's own copy of the Decision Index suite and TypeSafe's workflow evals. The model launched in October 2026, and the public Decision Index run places it mid-table overall. Build a labeled test set from your own audio, video and tickets before routing production traffic.

Best-Fit Workloads

Where this model earns its place

01

Video and Audio Moderation

‍

Clef-omni can score an uploaded clip against policy questions in one request. Videos are sampled at 2 frames per second, and the soundtrack is heard with the frames. That suits trust-and-safety checks that depend on what is both seen and said, with a probability you can threshold. Clips are capped at 60 seconds, so longer media needs chunking, and borderline scores should go to human review.

02

Multimodal Ticket and Intake Routing

‍

Support and intake flows increasingly mix text, screenshots and voice notes. Clef-omni can route them with choice and score questions in one call. Cloudflare reports 94.8 macro-F1 on BANKING77 and 97.7 on CLINC150+OOS, both vendor-run intent tasks. Use it when attachments matter. For text-only tickets, Clef or Jev may be more accurate on workflow-style evals.

03

Agent Guardrails and Gating

‍

Place Clef-omni in the agent request path to answer yes/no or categorical questions before an LLM acts: block, escalate or proceed. Cloudflare reports about 130 ms median latency for text, and training adds Brier-score calibration, so outputs work as confidence values. Calibration error was 0.040 in the Decision Index run. It cannot take the action itself.

04

Equipment and Field Inspection Checks

‍

Cloudflare's own example reviews an installation using a photo, an audio recording and a video, asking whether a label is visible, whether the unit sounds smooth and whether the fan is running. That cross-modal pattern suits QA, warranty and maintenance workflows. Each question returns a probability, and video length and file size caps apply per request.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about integrating and using this AI model via AnyAPI.ai

Clef-omni is Cloudflare's multimodal decision model, released October 9, 2026. It is a 30B-A3B mixture-of-experts model that turns a state and a schema of typed questions into decisions. It reads text, JSON, images, audio and video and returns probabilities, not text. The weights are open under Apache 2.0.

No. Clef-omni does not generate text. It returns a probability for every allowed option in a single forward pass, with no free-form generation and no output parsing. Requests use a state-and-questions schema, not chat messages, so standard chat-completion payloads do not apply. Use a generative model for any follow-up action or explanation.

Workers AI lists a 64,000-token context window for Clef-omni. Media tokens count toward it together with the questions. Each image costs 64 to 1,024 input tokens. Each second of video costs up to 256 input tokens. If media alone exceeds the window, the request fails.

Clef-omni accepts audio as WAV or MP3 and video as MP4 or WebM, alongside PNG, JPEG or WebP images. Limits are 4 images, 4 audio clips and 2 videos per request. Videos can run up to 60 seconds each. Media must be embedded as data because remote URLs are not accepted.

Clef-omni is billed on input tokens only. Media inputs are converted to input tokens and billed at the input token rate, and Clef models do not charge for output tokens. Spend therefore scales with the size of your audio, video and images. Compared with Clef, it has a lower input rate. See the AnyTokens pricing component on this page for current rates.
