Clef-Flash 9B — VRAM & /v1/systemone setup
Autor: Jakub Rusinowski · Ostatnia aktualizacja:
Model decyzyjny 9B od Cloudflare na Qwen3.5-9B, z enkoderem obrazu. W Ollama jako clef-flash (Apache-2.0), wywoływany przez /v1/systemone; Cloudflare nie opublikował żadnego benchmarku obrazów.
Clef-Flash 9B potrzebuje około 6 GB VRAM przy Q4_K_M — skwantyzowane wagi plus narzut frameworka, bez pamięci podręcznej KV. Na Apple Silicon ta wartość pochodzi z pamięci zunifikowanej.
Call Clef-Flash 9B
Pull it with Ollama 0.35.1 or newer, then POST to /v1/systemone. Do not use ollama chat commands — this is not a chat model.

Hardware fit
Weights plus overhead plus the KV cache at a 8,192-token prompt, on NVIDIA RTX 4090 (24 GB). A publisher build is sized from its file; the other rows are modelled at a standard quant. Decision requests are short, so no long-context figure is shown. Image tokens are not modelled: each image adds to the prompt, so a request with images needs more memory than these rows.

How it was scored
Two different suites on two different scales. Never compare the numbers across the two cards.

Raw per-benchmark scores from the vendor's own internal run, not chance-corrected and not independently reproduced. They are not the Decision Index's balanced skill, so do not compare them with the card beside this one. Six of the published rows are shown; the rest are on the Hugging Face model card. Cloudflare has published no image benchmark for either Clef model.

Clef-Flash 9B — najczęściej zadawane pytania
What is Clef-Flash 9B?
Clef-Flash 9B is a decision model: you send it a state and typed questions (choice, yes/no/unknown, or a score) and it returns one answer per question with a probability for every option. It is not a chat model.
How do I run Clef-Flash 9B locally?
Install Ollama 0.35.1 or newer, run `ollama pull clef-flash`, then POST your state and questions to http://localhost:11434/v1/systemone. It is called through the API, not a chat session.
How much memory does Clef-Flash 9B need?
About 6 GB for the weights plus overhead at Q4_K_M, before the prompt's KV cache. Decision prompts are short, so the cache stays small.
Should I use Clef or Clef-Flash?
On Cloudflare's own text benchmarks (vendor-reported) they differ. Clef-Flash scores higher on BFCL (98.8 vs 98.5), API-Bank (93.1 vs 91.9) and the home appliance simulator (97.7 vs 83.0), which suit decisions over a small set of options. Clef scores higher on CLINC150+OOS (97.4 vs 66.8), a many-class intent task with out-of-scope inputs, and on RAGTruth hallucination detection (79.4 vs 35.6). Neither has a published image result, so measure both on your own examples.
Does Clef accept images?
Ollama's API reference lists Clef and Clef Flash for image input: base64 PNG, JPEG or WebP in an images array, Ollama 0.35.1 or later. Cloudflare has published no image benchmark for either model, so measure it on your own images before relying on it. The images guide shows how.
Why does Ollama list MLX tags for Clef?
Ollama lists MLX tags for both Clef models, but its System One API reference says MLX models are not supported on /v1/systemone. Use the default tag (ollama pull clef or ollama pull clef-flash).
