Clef-omni (9 October 2026) adds audio and video input. Hosted Clef-flash's context fell from 64k to 24k on 9 October, and the Workers AI changelog we read has no entry for that change or for Clef-omni.\n\n**ScaleDown.** Classify answers Jev-shaped `choice`, `noul` and `score` questions with probabilities, and Extract returns values with confidences and character offsets, at $0.05 per million input tokens with output free. There is no status page, no published rate limit and no public changelog, and the site's compliance claims contradict each other.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Clef\n\n1. Send `model` in the body as `clef`, `clef-flash` or `clef-omni`, matching the model in the URL. The input schema requires it\n2. Ask every independent question about one state in one call. 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### ScaleDown\n\n1. Send several questions about one item in one `/v1/scaledown` call. Each becomes its own Classify call and the usage is summed\n2. Pin `classify-1`, `extract-1` or `summarize-1` once you've tuned thresholds on your own labelled cases\n3. Set `context_chars` to 0 and use `top_n` on Extract unless you need the 500 characters of context each side\n4. Set `reasoning: false` on /classify when you only need the label. The reasoning call bills its input at 2x\n5. Back off and retry on 429, 502 and 504. No limits are published and calls have no side effects\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Clef or ScaleDown?\n\nClef scores 65.9 (B) on agent readiness against ScaleDown's 48.6 (D), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Do Clef and ScaleDown need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Clef and ScaleDown without installing anything?\n\nYes. Clef has a hosted endpoint at https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/{account_id}/ai/run/@cf/cloudflare/clef and ScaleDown at https://api.scaledown.xyz.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cloudflare-clef-vs-scaledown.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cloudflare-clef-vs-scaledown.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"cloudflare-clef\", \"b\": \"scaledown\"}`.
