The story

A global AI content detection platform serves over 10 million users, 380,000 educators, and 3,000 institutions to verify the authenticity of written text.

Rapid viral growth overwhelmed the infrastructure, leading to skyrocketing server costs and compounding latency that frustrated users. The previous setup took 10 to 15 seconds to generate feedback, failing to meet the real-time demands of classrooms and newsrooms.

The platform migrated its core inference workloads from OpenAI to Groq, running open-source models like Llama 3.1 8B and 70B for writing feedback and citation checking. The architecture uses specialized Python microservices to execute layered detection and verification processes in parallel without compromising user experience. Additionally, they deployed an intelligent research agent in a two-stage process to handle both fast fact-checking and resource-intensive bibliography reviews.
