Cloudflare introduces clairic: a category-free model paradigm for extracting values from raw inputs

ritakozlov · x · 2026-10-20

Cloudflare's michellechen unveils clairic, billed as a brand-new model paradigm: a system one model that extracts, computes, estimates, and predicts values directly from unstructured inputs without predefining categories.

Unlike decision models like Clef — where you list options upfront and get probabilities back — clairic assigns field values directly (e.g., outputting "llama" with 0.99 confidence where a classifier could only pick from pig/cow/horse).

The proposed pipeline: clairic extracts values → Clef makes decisions with them → LLMs act on those decisions, all running on Workers AI. Suited for data you've never seen before.
