The name comes from the clef symbol that sets pitch on a musical score. In Cloudflare\u0026#39;s own testing, the threat intelligence team uses Clef to sort websites under review, returning scores like a 95 percent chance a site is a fashion retailer, 85 percent that it is an online store, and under 1 percent that it is a scam. The same classification takes gpt-oss-120b 4.7 seconds and Clef 2.2 seconds.
