Real-time AI-generated media detection across audio, video, images, and text
Reality Defender detects and blocks deepfakes and synthetic media using PyTorch and JAX-based ML models deployed on AWS/Azure/GCP. The tech stack reflects a research-heavy operation: the company is actively building multi-modal detection capabilities while maintaining real-time inference performance. Current hiring spans both ML research and go-to-market roles, with active projects focused on audio deepfake models, inference dashboards, and low-touch customer onboarding—suggesting a pivot toward scalable deployment and adoption velocity.
