Media: moderation that keeps up 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 becoming the constraint on how much the network could publish.
What moved to Run BiOS
The pipeline moved to Run BiOS 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 the engineering team 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
