vllm.model_executor.models.clef_omni

Clef-Omni (https://huggingface.co/Cloudflare/clef-omni).

The Qwen3-Omni thinker with a joint schema head that scores every option of every question in one forward pass. The head reads the final hidden states of the whole prompt, so it runs as a token_classify pooler.

Each request carries its schema in PoolingParams.extra_kwargs under "joint_schema":

• question_types: 0 (noul), 1 (choice) or 2 (score) per question.
• question_spans: the [start, end) of each question's instructions.
• option_spans: the [start, end) of each option, question by question.
• option_counts: the number of options of each question.

Spans count from the end of the prompt (-len(prompt) <= start < end <= 0), so they hold after multimodal placeholders are expanded. The output has one value per option, in option_spans order: its probability within its question, or its logit with use_activation=False.

Classes:

• ClefOmniMultiModalProcessor –

  Caps video frames at the reference's per-frame pixel count.

• JointSchemaHead –
• JointSchemaPooler –

  Runs the joint schema head on each finished prompt.

• SchemaIndices –

  Where one prompt's questions and options are, on the model's device.

Functions:

• cap_frame_pixels –

  The reference reads each video frame at at most 256 * 32 * 32 pixels,

• parse_joint_schema –

  The question types, the absolute spans of the questions then of the
