Up to 64 are allowed\n3. Try `clef-flash` first for text-only triage under 24k tokens. It costs $0.038 per million input tokens against $0.24 for Clef\n4. Send Clef-omni audio and video as base64 data URIs in `audio` and `videos`. Remote URLs are not accepted\n5. Media and questions count towards the context window. If they exceed it, the request fails. Otherwise text state is truncated to fit\n6. Read the internal code on a 429. 3036 means the day's 10,000 free neurons are spent, 3040 means capacity, so retry later\n7. Treat an answer about user-supplied text, images, audio or video as a judgement that hostile input can steer. Cloudflare publishes no guidance on it\n\n### pplx-decider-flash\n\n1. Send `Authorization: Bearer` with `model` set to `pplx-decider-flash-v1.2`. A key in `x-api-key` returns 401.\n2. Send one question per request by default. Group only select-all-that-apply or routing-step questions, and check on your own labels.\n3. Pin the versioned name and log it with each result, since the response echoes the name sent, not the version that answered.\n4. Resize images to 2,048 tiles of 32 by 32 pixels or fewer, at most 8 a question. Larger images end in a 504 after about a minute.\n5. Compare it with `pplx-decider-v1.2` on a labelled sample at your thresholds before choosing it.\n\n## Tutorials\n\n- [Flag an outage report with Cloudflare Clef](https://www.anchorterminal.com/tutorials/cloudflare-clef/), for Clef\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Clef or pplx-decider-flash?\n\npplx-decider-flash scores 67.9 (B) on agent readiness against Clef's 65.9 (B), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories.
