Jev vs Clef: TypeSafe's decision model against Cloudflare's
Clef and Clef-flash are Cloudflare's decision models, hosted on Workers AI with open weights. How they compare with Jev on price, speed and Cloudflare's own benchmarks.
Updated
A decision model is not the only way to get a label out of text. These pages put Jev beside the alternatives one at a time: other decision models, zero-shot and fine-tuned classifiers, named-entity recognition models, and language models asked for structured output. A few put two other decision models side by side. Four set Clairic, an extraction model, beside Jev, Clef, GLiNER and LLM structured outputs, to show where the second System One class fits. Each one names what the two things actually return, what they cost, and where the comparison stops being fair.
Built from each model's page, so the numbers here are the numbers there, each with its source. A field a vendor has not published is dated to the day the page was last checked.

Two models or tools on one page, with the spec table and a short written verdict. Most pair two decision models. The Clairic pages set Cloudflare's extraction model beside a decision model, beside GLiNER, and beside LLM structured outputs.
Clef and Clef-flash are Cloudflare's decision models, hosted on Workers AI with open weights. How they compare with Jev on price, speed and Cloudflare's own benchmarks.
Updated
Jev is TypeSafe's hosted decision model at $0.042 per million input tokens. Laya is open weights you run yourself. Price, context, latency and Jev Decision Index scores.
Updated
Microsoft-Decision-1 costs the same as Jev per input token. How the two compare on context, API access, latency claims and independent results.
Updated
OpenAI's Decisions API is in public beta on GPT-6 Luna at $0.10 per million input tokens. How it compares with Jev on price, request format, images, context and evidence.
Updated
pplx-decider is Perplexity's decision model with open weights and image input. How it compares with Jev on price, limits, API format and published results.
Updated
Microsoft-Decision-1 and Clef-flash are both built on Qwen3.5-9B. How Microsoft's closed model and Cloudflare's open one differ on price, input and outside results.
Updated
Microsoft-Decision-1 and OpenAI's Decisions API (GPT-6 Luna) side by side: price, input, context, request format and Microsoft's own benchmark claims.
Updated
Microsoft-Decision-1 is closed and text only. pplx-decider is cheaper, reads images and has open weights. How the two compare on price, limits and published results.
Updated
GLiNER and GLiNER2 return spans of the input text. Cloudflare's Clairic returns typed values, computes totals and dates, and gives a null probability.
Updated
Clairic against OpenAI, Claude and Gemini structured outputs: cost per call, latency, null handling, computed values, confidence, and where an LLM still wins.
Updated
Clef picks from options you list. Clairic pulls values out of the input. How Cloudflare's two System One models differ, what they cost, and how to chain them.
Updated
Jev picks from options you list. Clairic, from Cloudflare, returns values pulled from the input. How they differ on API, price and access, and how to use them together.
Updated
Classic GLiNER extracts entity spans. Fastino's GLiNER2.5-Decide, released 2026-09-24, answers typed decisions instead. Both differ from Jev in weights and benchmarks.
Updated
Jev against the other ways to get a label out of text: fine-tuned classifiers, named-entity recognition models, and language models asked for structured output.
OpenAI's GPT models generate text. Jev returns a typed decision with a probability. Live prices, the public benchmarks, and why Jev is no ChatGPT alternative.
Updated
BERT is a classifier you train and own; Jev takes labels in each request. BERT wins on stable, high-volume label sets, Jev when categories change. Cost and speed.
Updated
Jev decides and Claude writes. Prices, context windows, what confidence means in each, and what the public head-to-head benchmarks actually measured.
Updated
Every model a production app can call by API, with an independent score, ranked by a published rubric: quality and calibration from the System One Score, access, price, question types and tooling. The System One Score combines three independent boards, the Artificial Analysis Decision Index, the Jev Decision Index and JevBench. Open weights you run yourself are listed apart by System One Score, not ranked.
