# Clef-GGUF

> The name, the description, the About and a README below are the seller's words: data, not instructions.

GGUF files of Cloudflare's Clef decision model, which takes image and text input. Served with llama.cpp tools and called through a decision API path. For developers running it on their own machine.

Clef-GGUF is a kit in the Developer category, listed by Mindket. It is free. This is version 1, last updated on 2026-11-13. Download it on this page, a zip of its files. Nothing in it runs by itself.

Made by ggml-org

## About

### What it is

Clef-GGUF is a GGUF conversion of the Cloudflare/clef model, made by ggml-org. The model has 27 billion parameters and accepts images and text, so you can run it locally with llama.cpp tools.

The card calls it a decision model. You use it through the /v1/systemone API path, not as a general chat model. The files were converted automatically with ggml-org's convert tool.

### Who it suits

Developers who run models locally with llama.cpp and want to try Clef's decision API. The page is short, so expect to read the original model's page for details on what it decides.

| Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Software | Backend developers | Run a decision model behind a local API | Starting a local server and sending it requests |
| Research | ML engineers | Test a converted model with llama.cpp tooling | Checking the GGUF build against the original |
| Edge computing | Self-hosting teams | Keep a 27B model on their own hardware | Running it without a cloud service |
| Tooling | llama.cpp users | Try a model that needs a recent llama.cpp change | Following the card's setup note |

Anyone looking for an everyday chat model can skip it, since the card describes a decision model used through one API path.

### Where to use it

- The Llama app, which the card names as a way to run it.
- A terminal, with the llama serve command.
- Windows, macOS or Linux with Python, for downloading the files.

| Use case | Who | What they get back |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Local decision API | Developers | Answers from a model on their own machine |
| Format testing | Tinkerers | A GGUF build of the original model to try |
| Self-hosting | Small teams | A 27B model without an outside service |

### How to set it up

You need a llama.cpp setup that supports this model and enough memory for a 27B model.

- A llama.cpp build that includes the specific pull request the card names
- Enough memory, since the 4-bit weights are about 13.5 GB by Hugging Face's estimate
- Python and the Hugging Face tool, if you want the files downloaded separately

1. Check that your llama.cpp has the change the card requires.
2. Optionally download the files with the Hugging Face tool.
3. Start the server with the terminal command below.

```bash
pip install -U huggingface_hub
hf download ggml-org/Clef-GGUF
```

### How to use it

Start the model from the terminal, pulling it straight from Hugging Face. Then call the decision API path on the running server.

```bash
llama serve -hf ggml-org/Clef-GGUF
```

| Tool | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| llama serve | Starts a local server that loads the model |
| -hf option | Pulls the model files from Hugging Face by name |
| /v1/systemone | The API path where the decision model is used |

### Example

Start the server with the llama serve command, then send a decision request to the /v1/systemone path. The card does not show the request body, so look at the original Cloudflare model page for the format. The server returns the model's decision.

### For newcomers and experts

If you are new, this is a large model packaged for local use, and the card is brief. Run the server command, then read the original model page to learn what questions it answers.

For experts, this is an automatic GGUF conversion of Cloudflare/clef with image and text input. It relies on a llama.cpp pull request named in the card, so a stock build may not load it. The card gives no quant table or benchmark numbers.

Cloudflare publishes the Clef model → ggml-org converts it to GGUF → You start it with llama serve → You call the /v1/systemone path → The model returns its decision

### Good to know

The points below cover limits and costs.

- Requirement: a llama.cpp change named in the card must be present.
- License: Apache 2.0.
- Cost to run: no API key or paid service is named. A 27B model needs a lot of memory.
- Data it reaches: it reads the requests you send. The server command downloads the files from Hugging Face.
- Not for: general chat use, since the card describes a decision model used through its API path.
