The Clef family grows an omni head. Cloudflare’s Clef-Omni (October 9, 2026) is a 35.3B omni model on the Qwen3-OMNI MoE architecture: audio in (and out via the talker), image in, text out, Apache 2.0. Same decision-model contract as its 27B and 9B siblings: map an input to action probabilities, never write an essay.
Fit math. The thinker runs 48 layers at 4 KV heads x 128 head-dim to a 65,536 context: about 96MB of cache per 1,000 tokens and about 20.2GB of q4 weights for the full omni stack. A 24GB to 32GB card hosts the whole thing; the flash-tier split (text decision vs omni IO) is what keeps the small builds cheap.
Why Cloudflare keeps shipping these. Three Clef-class models in nine days (27B, 9B flash, omni) is an edge-infrastructure strategy, not a model line: a CDN whose Workers run customers’ routing decisions wants a model family sized for edge GPUs, and open weights are how it recruits the ecosystem to build on that family.
