Cloudflare gives agents a workspace, a small model for decisions and a search that starts costing money in November

The facts: on 1 October 2026 Cloudflare announced Cloudflare OS, an "agent workspace" that connects to a company's data and systems. You connect a GitHub repository and ask the agent to explore the codebase, fix a bug, add a feature or open a pull request; Google Workspace gives it reading and writing of email in Gmail and access to Drive, docs and sheets; export goes to Excel, CSV, PDF, Markdown and HTML, with Word and PowerPoint promised "soon". The open source version is available today to deploy into your own account; the fully managed version has a waitlist and will be launched from the dashboard by choosing a domain, Access policies and an AI Gateway. No price is given. Clef are "decision models": they classify an input and return a typed answer with probabilities, which your code uses to route, escalate or hand to a human. Clef is built on Qwen 3.8-27B, Clef-flash on Qwen 3.5-9B, both with rank-256 adapters, Apache 2.0 licence on Hugging Face and hosted on Workers AI. Per Cloudflare, across 43 benchmarks Clef-flash answers in 38.8 ms median and 122.4 ms at the 95th percentile, Clef in 209.3 and 238.6 ms; Clef scores 98.47% on BFCL, 94.20% on Banking77 and 97.43% on CLINC150 with OOS. Reinforcement fine-tuning starts as a service with Cloudflare engineers at the customer, self-serve is promised later. AI Search is generally available from the same day, and billing starts on 1 November 2026: $0.75 per million tokens ingested, a further $0.50 per million for images, $2.00 per GB-month, $0.75 per 1,000 semantic queries and $0.10 per 1,000 full-text queries. Free every month on all Workers plans: 5 million tokens, 10 GB and 1,000 queries of each kind. New: image embeddings with Qwen3-VL-Embedding, OCR for scanned PDFs and files up to 10 MiB instead of 4.
