Meta manages 100M+ videos using a specialized multi-agent pipeline that detects modality misalignment and unoriginal content through domain-specific VLMs, continuous DPO, and aggressive compute optimizations.
Stop Deploying VLMs: Use Vibe Training for Task-Specific Models
Avoid deploying Vision Language Models (VLMs) at runtime due to latency and licensing issues. Instead, use a 'vibe training' pipeline: leverage VLMs to auto-label datasets, use ensemble judges to filter quality, and train small, Apache 2.0-licensed models like RF-DETR for production-grade performance.
Building the Document Context Layer for AI Agents
Modern RAG is shifting from simple retrieval to agentic workflows where document parsing, semantic storage, and specialized extraction pipelines act as the critical context layer for autonomous agents.
