Media: moderation that stays level with the feed
The situation
Every piece of content on the network passes through AI: moderation checks, topic tagging, and metadata enrichment. The feed never sleeps, and the premium model running that pipeline priced every post like a premium decision — though most of the work is routine classification.
Growth made the math worse each quarter: more content meant a bigger bill, and the pipeline was turning into the constraint on how much the network could publish.
What moved to Vidman AI
The pipeline moved to Vidman AI and was right-sized: moderation and tagging now run on smaller open models matched to each task, with the premium model reserved for the edge cases that genuinely need judgment.
One OpenAI-compatible endpoint serves the whole pipeline, so engineering changed a model name, not an integration.
The outcome
- AI spend reduced significantly against the all-premium pipeline
- Throughput increased thoroughly — the pipeline stopped being the publishing constraint
- Premium-model judgment is reserved for the edge cases that earn it
