TL;DR:

  • Ollama adds support for Clef 27B and Flash 9B
  • Built for image classification and ticket routing
  • Smaller models suit local hardware

Headline

Cloudflare's Clef models for decision tasks are now on Ollama, letting you run image classification and ticket routing locally.

Summary

Ollama added Cloudflare's Clef 27B and Clef Flash 9B models. They're meant for image classification, labeling bugs, and routing support tickets. Pull them with ollama pull to use locally.

Analysis

These models shift focus from general chatbots to smaller ones built for narrow tasks. The smaller 9B version runs on modest hardware, the 27B handles harder jobs. Ollama users get more options for offline work, and Cloudflare widens distribution. Teams can handle AI tasks in-house without sending data out.
