1. MediaFM: The Multimodal AI Foundation for Media Understanding at Netflix
Published: 2026-02-23 18:24
Summary:
Consisting of tens of millions of individual shots across multiple titles, our diverse yet entertainment-specific dataset provides the perfect foundation to train multimodal media understanding models that enable many capabilities across the company such as ads relevancy, clip popularity prediction, and clip tagging.For these reasons, we developed the Netflix Media Foundational Model (MediaFM), our new, in-house, multimodal content embedding model For each shot, we generate three distinct embeddings from its core modalities:Video: an internal model called SeqCLIP (a CLIP-style model fine-tuned on video retrieval datasets) is used to embed frames sampled at uniform intervals from segmented shotsAudio: the audio samples from the same shots are embedded using Meta FAIR’s wav2vec2Timed Text: OpenAI’s text-embedding-3-large model is used to encode the corresponding timed text (e.g., closed captions, audio descriptions, or subtitles) for each shotFor each shot, the three embeddings² are concatenated and unit-normed to form a single 2304-dimensional fused embedding vector This avoids the architectural fragility of fine-tuning, allowing us to enhance our existing embedding-based workflows with new modalities more flexibly.All of our data has audio and video; we zero-pad for missing timed text data, which is relatively likely to occur (e.g., in shots without dialogue).The title-level tasks couldn’t be evaluated with the VertexAI MM and Marengo embedding models as the videos exceed the length limit set by the APIs.AcknowledgementsWe would like to thank Matt Thanabalan and Chaitanya Ekanadham for their contributions to this work.MediaFM: The Multimodal AI Foundation for Media Understanding at Netflix was originally published in Netflix TechBlog on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.
2. Scaling LLM Post-Training at Netflix
Published: 2026-02-13 08:05
Summary:
This blog describes the architecture and engineering philosophy of our internal Post-Training Framework, built by the AI Platform team to hide infrastructure complexity so researchers and model developers can focus on model innovation — not distributed systems plumbing.A Model Developer’s Post-Training JourneyPost-training often starts deceptively simply: curate proprietary domain data, load an open-weight model from Hugging Face, and iterate batches through it In particular, we extend Single Program, Multiple Data (SPMD) style SFT workloads to run online RL with a hybrid single-controller + SPMD execution model, which we’ll describe next.Today, this framework supports research use cases ranging from post-training large-scale foundation models to fine-tuning specialized expert models Rather than training directly on transformers model classes, we maintain our own optimized, unified model definitions that can still load/save Hugging Face checkpoints
3. Automating RDS Postgres to Aurora Postgres Migration
Published: 2026-02-12 14:07
Summary:
At this stage, the Aurora cluster is created and attached to the RDS PostgreSQL primary as a replica, establishing continuous replication from the source RDS PostgreSQL instance The cluster is fully operational for validation and performance testing, but it is not yet writable — RDS remains the authoritative primary.Quiescence PhaseThe goal of the quiescence phase is to transition client applications from the source RDS PostgreSQL instance to the Aurora PostgreSQL cluster as the new primary database, while preserving data consistency during cutover.The first step in this process is to stop all write traffic to the source RDS PostgreSQL instance to guarantee consistency In addition, any logical replication slots removed during the migration must be recreated so that CDC consumers can continue processing changes from the source database.Once connectivity and replication slots are restored, the RDS PostgreSQL instance can safely resume its role as the primary source of truth.Post-quiescence Rolling back after cutover, once the Aurora PostgreSQL cluster is serving production traffic, is significantly more complex
