The company says it adapted the Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B-Instruct foundation, removed speech-generation components and uses two-stage attention routing for schema-bound choices. Cloudflare reports median decision times of 130 ms for text and about 150 ms for images; audio takes a few hundred milliseconds and a 21-second video with sound about 1.5 seconds.

Cloudflare also cut Clef-flash pricing from $0.09 to $0.038 per million input tokens while reducing the hosted context window from 64,000 to 24,000 tokens. Clef-omni starts at $0.15 per million input tokens. Speed and benchmark comparisons come from the company’s tests, not independent verification.
