Cloudflare's Clef-omni scores audio and video against a decision schema in one call

Cloudflare's Clef-omni takes audio and video alongside text and images and returns schema-bound decisions in one API call. Runtimewire reported that the same release cut hosted Clef-flash's context window from 64,000 to 24,000 tokens, so longer prompts now go to Clef or to self-hosted weights.

TypeSafe's Jev, Cloudflare's Clef and AWS's Strands Decider 2B bring small models to agent decisions

Cloudflare and AWS have followed TypeSafe's Jev with Clef and Strands Decider 2B, small models built to pick an agent's next tool or step. The pitch is a smaller token bill, though the practitioners dev.to cites say calibration and the cost of a wrong pick decide whether any saving survives.

Ollama and llama.cpp now serve Jev-spec decision models on local hardware

Ollama and llama.cpp added local endpoints within a week for Jev decision models, 144M-to-27B checkpoints that return a label and a probability. Routing calls can move off hosted models once teams check each checkpoint's licence and test it on their own labels.

Typesafe's Jev API gains an open-weight rival in Cloudflare's Clef decision models

Cloudflare released two Jev-API-compatible decision models, Clef and Clef-flash, on Workers AI and as Apache 2.0 weights on Hugging Face. Typed classification steps in agent code can now move between providers or onto owned hardware, as long as they stay inside the text-only, 32k-context features Jev supports.
