## Summary

Cloudflare announced a preview of Clairic, the first System One‑style extraction model, hosted on Workers AI under the identifier @cf/cloudflare/clairic. The model extracts, computes, estimates and forecasts values from unstructured text or up to four images in a single forward pass, charging only for input tokens. It returns typed outputs with confidence scores, character offsets and optional 80 % intervals, eliminating token‑generation hallucinations.

In internal tests, a pipeline that used Clairic for extraction and the decision model Clef ran 69 % faster (19.3 s vs 61.7 s) and cost 49 % less than an all‑LLM pipeline that relied on GLM‑5.3 for every step. On a public TSA daily‑screening series, Clairic’s forecasts were off by an average of 3.3 % and 17 of 21 actual counts fell inside the predicted 80 % interval. Cloudflare says the model is accurate, low‑latency (under a second for many fields) and cheap compared with traditional LLMs, though multi‑step arithmetic and long‑range forecasting remain limited. Open‑weights are planned for a future release.

## Key points

- Clairic extracts, computes, estimates and forecasts values from text or images in a single pass, charging only for input tokens
- Cloudflare reports a cascade using Clairic is 69 % faster (19.3 s vs 61.7 s) and 49 % cheaper than an all‑LLM pipeline
- On TSA daily‑screening data, forecasts were 3.3 % average error with 17 of 21 predictions inside the 80 % interval

## Why it matters

A fast, cheap extraction model reduces reliance on costly LLMs for data‑parsing tasks, enabling more efficient automation across businesses.
