EmDash uses Clef to moderate the plugin registry
a day ago
- EmDash now screens every plugin listing with Cloudflare's Clef decision model before catalog inclusion.
- Clef reviews metadata, links, icons, and screenshots for phishing, impersonation, offensive content, and other abuse.
- The registry uses AT Protocol, allowing authors to publish signed releases while EmDash controls catalog visibility.
- Clef is a multimodal decision model that answers bounded questions with probabilities, handling both text and images.
- Nine questions for text/links and eight for images; a probability of 0.45 or higher triggers human review.
- Clef replaced a slower pipeline of multiple models, achieving faster moderation (p95 latency 1.64s) and perfect test results.
- Plugin authors see no new steps; if a listing needs review, the release remains signed but may be withheld pending operator decision.
