    Cloudflare says its new Clef model means humans no longer need to be in the loop for AI agents

    With Clef and Clef-flash, Cloudflare is challenging TypeSafe AI's Jev decision model. Clef-flash delivers classifications in about 39 milliseconds, making it more than ten times faster than Jev. Both models are built on Qwen, licensed under Apache 2.0, and designed to let AI agents make structured decisions without generating text.
