contents Conventional recommendation systems frequently fail to fully exploit the high-dimensional semantic signals inherent in multimedia content, thereby limiting the fidelity of user preference modeling. While Multimodal Large Language Models (MM-LLMs) offer robust mechanisms for interpreting such complex data, their integration into latency-constrained, industrial-scale architectures remains a significant challenge. To address this, we propose a generalized framework for MM-LLM-driven multimedia understanding. Our methodology employs a tripartite architecture encompassing content interpretation, representation extraction, and systematic pipeline integration, instantiated via a LLaMA2-based model that generates descriptive captions subsequently ingested as tokenized categorical features. Empirical evaluation demonstrates the efficacy of this approach, yielding a $0.35\%$ increase in offline AUC and a $0.02\%$ improvement in online metrics at scale, substantiating the practical viability of leveraging MM-LLMs to enhance large-scale recommendation performance.
