Cloudflare launches Clairic document-extraction model
Cloudflare released Clairic in preview on Workers AI and said the model extracts document fields, handles some calculations and forecasts, and outperformed GLM-5.3 in one company example.
- Cloudflare released Clairic and made it available in preview on Workers AI.
- The company said open weights for Clairic were due to follow soon.
- Cloudflare said users could name fields to extract, and the model would return values with a confidence score and use null when a value was missing.
- In one example, Cloudflare said Clairic, Clef and GLM-5.3 together completed the workflow in 19.3 seconds.
- Cloudflare said GLM-5.3 alone took 61.7 seconds for the same three steps and cost almost twice as much.
Cloudflare released Clairic and made it available in preview on Workers AI. The company said open weights would follow later.
Cloudflare said users could specify the fields they wanted from a document, such as an order number or invoice total. It said Clairic returned the values in the required format with a confidence score and used null when no value was present.
The company said Clairic did not generate text one token at a time. It also said the model could handle simple calculations, estimates and forecasts.
Cloudflare said it wanted Clairic to work in chains with other System One models, including Jev. In its example, Clairic extracted details from a complaint email, Clef applied company rules, and GLM-5.3 drafted the reply.
Cloudflare said that workflow took 19.3 seconds. It said GLM-5.3 on its own needed 61.7 seconds for all three steps and cost almost twice as much, and it added that Clairic could not yet reliably handle longer chains of calculations.
