What this recipe solves

Manual product tagging is slow, inconsistent, and doesn't scale. This recipe deploys a compact transformer model to Vercel Edge Functions, processing product titles and descriptions in real time. Tags are deterministic, cacheable, and computed at the edge — no round-trip to a GPU cluster.

Input

Array of product objects with title and description fields. Up to 100 items per batch.

Output

Each product enriched with a tags array and category string, plus confidence scores.

Model

DistilBERT quantized to INT8 (~87 MB). Loaded once at edge function cold start, reused across invocations.

Latency

P50: 28ms, P99: 62ms for a 50-item batch. Measured on Vercel Edge in fra1 region.
