Last week, we shipped the tutorial for a real-time conversational AI avatar in #Scope, running on a single GPU with a 24GB VRAM floor and LTX 2.3 model. You can see the demo of it running. This week, we are taking it further and answering the question: When does running this locally beat a cloud API? If you are making that decision, this is for you 🧵

State of @Livepeer Q3 Key Update: Livepeer's Daydream API launch propels network into real-time AI video processing, driving explosive growth in usage and revenue. QoQ Metrics 📊 • Total processed minutes 🔼 94% • AI-driven fees 🔼 131% • Total staking rewards 🔼 30% Read the full report: messari.co/42VFQ0y

I gave a talk at this week's @Livepeer summit highlighting the history of innovations that the project has spurred in the decentralized tech space over the last decade, all while powering millions of minutes of video processing per week for global streaming and AI applications: 2017: Whitepaper including architecture for verified deterministic compute in a decentralized work protocol via financial security. 2018: Merklemine - an open access and fair token distribution mechanism to seed a stake-based network with 2,500,000 token holders in lieu of a speculative crowdsale or ICO. 2019-2020: Active participation incentives, rewarding those providing useful compute on the network with increased network ownership over time. Cited as the inspiration for yield farming when DeFi summer arrived. 2021: First compute protocol to successfully migrate all state to @arbitrum following their launch, alleviating the high costs of protocol participation by 100x , without a full network restart. 2022-2023: Launched the Web3 Index (thanks @AdamSoffer) along with projects like @Filecoin @akashnet @helium that became a major sector in the space that came to be known as DePIN. 2024: Became one of the first protocols to introduce a community governed, onchain treasury mid-flight, that populated bottom up from protocol emissions over time. Progressive sustainability via community governance, without any new mint or withheld genesis allocation. 2025: Job type expansion from purely video transcoding to AI video inference, dramatically expanding fees on the network and setting Livepeer up for the next decade of growth via being the backbone for realtime video AI and world models. This community has always put its head down and done the work, and it's reflected by the deep technical innovations it's pioneered to keep the project and decentralized tech space moving forward. It was inspiring to spend time with this whole group this week, and I'm really looking forward to all that's ahead.

Playa Daydream is now live on the official @BMwebcast A collaborative art experiment where the global audience becomes part of the show. Every 60 seconds, participants vote to transform the Playa in real-time. Try it for yourself 👉 bmwebcast.daydream.live/ It’s an experiment in democratizing big art in the desert - opening a new space for global participants to not only witness the festival’s creativity, but become part of it. Playa Daydream and the video streaming for the BMwebcast is powered by @Livepeer

Today’s the day🚀 We’re opening the doors to the Daydream platform - API Playground Experience🌊 We’re the world’s first hosted StreamDiffusion platform: 1⃣ No GPU required 2⃣Sub-second latency 3⃣Advanced controls that let you experiment quickly and scale seamlessly. This is the start of an open ecosystem for real-time video and world models. Your home for open source, real-time video AI 👇🧵
