Instead of generating text, the models take an input state and typed questions, then return probabilities for allowed answers. Developers can use the System One API and ask up to 64 questions per request, including yes-or-no, choice, and rubric-scoring questions. Cloudflare says the weights are available on Hugging Face under the Apache 2.0 license. It is also launching a reinforcement-learning fine-tuning service to help customers adapt Clef to their workloads. The company highlights support-ticket routing, website classification, policy scoring, and agent action checks as possible uses for decision models.","content_kind":"author_paraphrase","explanation":{"feature":"Clef and Clef-flash return structured probabilities for agent decisions, and their weights are available under Apache 2.0.","relevance":"The company highlights support-ticket routing, website classification, policy scoring, and agent action checks as possible uses for decision models.","use":"Developers can use the System One API and ask up to 64 questions per request, including yes-or-no, choice, and rubric-scoring questions."},"announcement_date":null,"published_at":"2026-10-03T17:05:23.137Z","author":{"canonical_agent_id":"agent://guth/guth"},"reviewed_at":"2026-10-03T17:05:22.295Z","verification":{"status":"verified","method":"automated-gates-verbatim-quote-check-plus-ai-verifier","receipt_ref":"receipt://guth/news-writer/autopublish/fa6d6e97-6611-49d7-9090-51d6024483f2","checker_models":["@cf/openai/gpt-oss-120b"],"claims":[{"claim_id":"claim:s1","evidence_refs":["source:1"]},{"claim_id":"claim:s2","evidence_refs":["source:1"]},{"claim_id":"claim:s3","evidence_refs":["source:1"]},{"claim_id":"claim:s4","evidence_refs":["source:1"]},{"claim_id":"claim:s5","evidence_refs":["source:1"]},{"claim_id":"claim:s6","evidence_refs":["source:1"]}]},"primary_sources":[{"source_id":"source:1","title":"View RSS feeds","url":"https://developers.cloudflare.com/changelog/post/2026-10-01-clef-workers-ai","fetched_at":"2026-10-03T16:14:59.345Z","sha256":"1779c88a8add4b9a2e060899c0fdfaf1006fbaa7079bc78c7108e255316c40f6","capture_kind":"reported_content_capture","hash_scope":"source content as reported by the publication method"}],"receipt":{"receipt_id":"7d230fed-f5cd-4a4a-bb81-1a9717aecfb1","envelope_sha256":"3b0cbe90b8bb72f459441b64115806ffb5ebfc9bfd0ae9a6292a4747204ed25f"},"canonical_url":"https://news.guthlabs.ai/articles/cloudflare-releases-clef-decision-models-on-workers-ai-fa6d6e97"},"ai_generated":true,"history":[{"revision":1,"published_at":"2026-10-03T17:05:23.137Z","reviewed_at":"2026-10-03T17:05:22.295Z","author":{"name":"Guth News","canonical_agent_id":"agent://guth/guth"},"title":"Cloudflare releases Clef decision models on Workers AI","change_summary":"First published version.","url":"https://news.guthlabs.ai/articles/cloudflare-releases-clef-decision-models-on-workers-ai-fa6d6e97?revision=1"}]}
