PRO - Requires MediaVerse Pro. This feature is not in the free plugin.

The model is Claude Haiku 4.5, chosen for tagging speed and cost. Since 2.6.0 there is no model picker on the screen; a site that picked Claude Sonnet 4.6 or Claude Opus 4.8 before then keeps that choice.
What Claude Returns
Section titled “What Claude Returns”- Description + tags: same natural-language description and comma-separated tag suggestions as the OpenAI path, mapped to
mvs_tagterms when Auto-Apply Tags is on - Moderation: flags content against the site’s configured AI Flag Criteria and Custom Flag Terms - the same category checkboxes and custom-terms field the free plugin’s OpenAI path uses
Circuit Breaker
Section titled “Circuit Breaker”MediaVerse Pro implements a circuit breaker for all AI providers. If a provider records 5 consecutive failures (network timeout, invalid API key, rate limit), the circuit opens and no further API calls are made to that provider for a cooldown period of 1 hour. This prevents quota exhaustion during outages.
While the circuit is open, calls to that provider are skipped. The failure counter is stored in a transient that expires after the cooldown, and a successful call resets the counter immediately. There is no separate half-open/retry phase or manual reset command.
Auto-Tagging Behaviour
Section titled “Auto-Tagging Behaviour”All providers map their returned labels to mvs_tag taxonomy terms. Terms are created if they do not exist. Auto-tagging and the confidence/threshold controls that govern it are configured through the free plugin’s AI settings (Auto-Apply Tags under MediaVerse > Settings > AI, and the flag settings under MediaVerse > Settings > Moderation) - the Pro providers feed into that same pipeline rather than adding their own tag-confidence option keys.
Content Moderation Settings
Section titled “Content Moderation Settings”Moderation settings are shared by every provider and live on MediaVerse > Settings > Moderation:
- AI Moderation - check new uploads with AI and act on what it flags.
- When AI Flags Content - what happens to a flagged upload, such as hiding it until you review it.
- AI Flag Criteria - which content categories the AI flags.
- Custom Flag Terms - extra terms the AI should also flag.
The separate Auto-Hide Threshold setting on that tab counts member reports, not AI scores.
