In this talk, we’ll share how Netflix builds and curates multimodal features across large video and image corpora, with LanceDB serving as the core storage and query layer for multimodal data.</p> <p>We’ll briefly cover how Ray powers distributed ingestion, filtering, and large-scale batch inference across hundreds of GPUs, enabling the application of modern vision-language models to extract rich multimodal embeddings from video and image data. These embeddings capture both low-level visual signals and higher-level semantic context, forming the foundation for downstream tasks such as search, retrieval, and dataset curation.</p>
