blog.cloudflare.com by Michelle Chen et al. 7 min read Editor score 6/10

Clef-omni adds audio and video input alongside text and images, while Cloudflare says Clef is faster and Clef-flash is cheaper. Engineers tracking open-weight model releases can assess whether the new modality and iteration pace matter for their workloads.

What
Clef-omni accepts audio, video, image, and text inputs, expanding Cloudflare’s open-weight decision models beyond text and image.
How
It uses a Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B-Instruct MoE foundation, retaining the comprehension backbone while dropping text-to-speech output.
Why it matters
A single model can make decisions across modalities, avoiding separate transcription or audio/video-splitting model pipelines.
