Seekr

Risk Management

Seekr needed a scalable way to evaluate huge volumes of digital and podcast content for brand safety and suitability without relying on manual, subjective, and expensive review, while also finding enough cost-effective compute capacity for growing LLM training, inference, and deployment workloads.

20 million minutes of podcasts
7B LLM model
8-node Intel Gaudi 2 AI accelerator cluster
more than 10 million minutes of audio

Reported impact

Business outcome

Seekr scaled trustworthy content evaluation and LLM development while reducing cloud costs, improving workload performance, and delivering real-time brand-suitability scoring across large podcast catalogs.

  • Cost Reduction
  • Scalability

Solution

Seekr runs SeekrAlign and its LLM development stack on Intel Tiber AI Cloud to replace costlier self-managed infrastructure and scale trustworthy content analysis. Audio from podcasts and other digital content enters Seekr’s inference pipeline, where Intel Data Center GPU Max Series 1550 systems using Intel Extensions for PyTorch perform transcription and diarization. A 7B model on an 8-node Intel Gaudi 2 AI accelerator cluster then categorizes sensitive content and performs risk assessment. SeekrFlow orchestrates the end-to-end LLM pipeline through an API, versioned executables, custom components, and alignment algorithms. Separate 4th gen Intel Xeon Scalable processor clusters handle application monitoring, storage management, and vector and inverted-index database services that support Seekr’s RAG services and pipeline operations. Results are surfaced in the SeekrAlign dashboard as real-time podcast suitability scores.

Data flow

Podcast audio and other digital content enter Seekr’s inference pipeline, where Intel Data Center GPU Max Series 1550 systems running Intel Extensions for PyTorch transcribe and diarize the media. The processed content is scored by a 7B LLM on Intel Gaudi 2 clusters for sensitive-content categorization and risk assessment. Intel Xeon-based monitoring, storage, and vector/inverted-index database services support RAG and pipeline operations before results are delivered in the SeekrAlign dashboard.
