Cloudflare's Clairic extracts document data faster and cheaper than LLMs, company says

What happened

Cloudflare released Clairic in preview on Workers AI, with open weights set to follow soon, saying it extracts document data faster and more cheaply than LLMs. It returns requested fields and confidence scores in a single pass, using null for missing values. Cloudflare reports that a customer complaint workflow combining Clairic, Clef, and GLM-5.3 takes 19.3 seconds versus 61.7 seconds for GLM-5.3 alone at almost twice the cost, but says Clairic cannot yet reliably handle longer calculation chains.

Cloudflare released Clairic, a model for extracting data from documents, in preview on Workers AI and said open weights would follow soon. The company says Clairic extracts data faster and more cheaply than large language models. It returns requested fields and confidence scores in a single pass, using null for missing values. Cloudflare reported that a customer complaint workflow combining Clairic, Clef, and GLM-5.3 took 19.3 seconds, compared with 61.7 seconds for GLM-5.3 alone, which cost almost twice as much. That comparison covers the combined workflow. Cloudflare also said Clairic cannot yet reliably handle longer chains of calculations.
