Livepeer

1/ 🚀 Today we’re excited to introduce the Livepeer Foundation: a new, neutral entity stewarding the next phase of growth, decentralization, and ecosystem coordination across the Livepeer network.

↰ | $225 billion on inference costs through 2030. | | AI video will scale to hundreds of millions of users | sooner than you think | └ What infrastructure can handle that without costs spiraling out of control?

2026 prediction: the limiting factor in AI shifts from model quality to infrastructure economics. Always-on agents need sustained inference. That means 24/7 GPU compute. The infrastructure that wins scales supply when demand increases, not prices.

@AlexHormozi we’re early… especially on the real-time side of this 👀

Friendly reminder that AI will never be worse than it is right now. If you assume any rate of improvement over any reasonable period - learning how to use it becomes your #1 priority.

@IamEmily2050 no thanks i’ll keep my feet on the bed

What happen under the bedroom should stay under the bedroom 🤣

@NoahKingJr most people don’t hate it, they just don’t trust it yet

People who hate AI today will depend on it tomorrow.

@VaibhavSisinty especially once all of this is happening in real-time

Looks like everyone is moving from building AI Agents to AI Orchestrators!

@PeterDiamandis learning how to ask the right things is becoming the real skill

In some cases, AI can use computers better than a human can. The impact on traditional desk jobs worldwide will be drastic. If you haven't already, begin upskilling yourself. Don't know how? Ask AI!

@minchoi feels like we’re crossing into real-time here

Waiting minutes for AI video generation is over. Runway's new model on NVIDIA Vera Rubin hits under 100ms to first frame. Minds are blown.

@XFreeze next step is doing this live, not just pre-generated 😏

This multi-scene video entirely made with Grok Imagine

@GlitterPixely AI dreams getting out of hand

Not the best way to wake someone up 💀

@elonmusk we’re not even questioning it anymore

@refraction_irl @teendaze @DaydreamLiveAI

What if visuals responded back to the music? That’s exactly what we explored in this mix series, created as part of the @Livepeer Special Purpose Entities program. Through an Open Call, we invited visual artists to reinterpret never-before-released DJ sets from the Refraction archive using real-time video AI built on @DaydreamLiveAI. For Matthew Keff, Daydream aligned naturally with his existing 3D practice, while @teendaze’s immersive synth landscapes gave the visuals something to push against. He described the speed of iteration as “really satisfying,” allowing him to test ideas quickly and experiment in real time. Instead of treating AI as a static render tool, he fed in his own animations and manipulated them live, shaping visuals that move fluidly with the emotional arc of the set. The result: soft-focus synth horizons meet Keff’s playful, internet-native visual language: emotive, slightly uncanny, and constantly evolving. Watch the full set now on @ufofm_ ↓

Decentralized GPU infrastructure exists for a reason

6G networks are being built for real-time AI video from day one. They're building wireless infrastructure for sub-100ms latency from the ground up. The compute layer needs to keep up 👀

@a16zcrypto some of them are already more reliable than actual coworkers

AI agents are starting to feel like coworkers.

@venturetwins content is getting better fast curious what this looks like once it’s actually live and interactive

AI videos have replaced every single influencer on my IG feed and I couldn’t be more thrilled. Exceptional content. What a massive improvement! (from themonksbrush_thangka)

@Crypto_Dep @github @dfinity @ICPHUBS @graphprotocol @RunOnFlux @PhalaNetwork @Fetch_ai @HMsheikh4 @_Qubic_ @Filecoin 43.9 and climbing 👀 feels like more people are actually building real-time stuff now

@oliviscusAI Is it done in real time, though? 👀

🚨 BREAKING: Someone just open-sourced a tool that turns the real world into a playable Minecraft map. It pulls data directly from OpenStreetMap and generates your exact neighborhood, city, or street block by block. 100% Open Source.

@PeterDiamandis cool until you try to ship something with it and see the latency + cost infra matters

AI intelligence improvement from the beginning of 2026 to the end of this year will be equivalent to a toddler gaining Einstein-level knowledge in just 365 days.

@RoundtableSpace everyone focuses on models but whoever controls the compute + routing layer actually owns the game

GOOGLE’S AI ECOSYSTEM IS GETTING SCARY.
