As Livepeer extends its decentralized compute network to support AI-generated video, developers can now embed generative video capabilities into their applications to create without limits and build the future of media.
Today at Token2049, Livepeer, the world's open video infrastructure, announced the public launch of Livepeer AI, a new set of capabilities to allow developers to easily embed generative AI into applications of the future.
As AI reshapes the media landscape, developers face significant barriers in integrating generative video into their applications. GPU costs remain high due to limited access to specialized hardware and growing demand for computational resources.
Livepeer AI dismantles these obstacles, offering low cost compute and open-source AI models to make generative video creation and enhancement accessible to developers regardless of their AI fluency.
By equipping developers with the tools they need to rapidly integrate cutting-edge video capabilities into their applications, Livepeer AI will accelerate the transition to generative media, says Livepeer CEO and co-founder Doug Petkanics:
"The full launch of Livepeer AI marks a pivotal moment in the democratization of AI-powered video creation. By harnessing our global decentralized network, we're not just reducing costs; we're entering a new era of innovation in media production, enabling builders and developers to create without limits."
Following a successful beta phase, Livepeer AI now offers production-ready tools that leverage Livepeer's decentralized compute network to power affordable, scalable, and reliable AI-powered video capabilities. With Livepeer AI, developers can focus on their core competencies while leveraging frontier tech that helps accelerate their end user workflows.
A few of the key features and benefits of Livepeer AI include:
- Affordable AI Inference: Utilizing a global network of decentralized nodes, Livepeer AI significantly reduces the cost of GPU compute for AI inference, making high-performance capabilities accessible to all developers.
- Limitless Scalability: The platform offers on-demand scaling without the need for long-term commitments or hardware investments, allowing developers to grow their applications seamlessly.
- Comprehensive Video Tooling: From video generation to upscaling and subtitling, Livepeer AI provides end-to-end support for the entire video development process.
- Open Access: By removing gatekeepers, Livepeer AI ensures that anyone can access and contribute to AI infrastructure development, fostering innovation and collaboration.
- Content Authenticity: As a member of the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA), Livepeer is committed to combating misinformation by providing verifiable content authenticity throughout the media lifecycle.
In the future, developers will eventually be able to bring their own models, weights and fine-tunings, as well as deploy custom LoRAs on top of existing models in the network. These will provide flexibility to developers, who can design bespoke workflows to support any type of AI media compute need imaginable.
This launch represents a significant milestone in Livepeer's mission to provide the world's open media infrastructure and fuel a new era of AI-enabled creativity available to everyone, adds Petkanics:
"The potential of generative AI in video creation is immense. Yet the barriers to entry remain high for many developers. Livepeer AI makes it possible for innovators of all kinds to participate in shaping the future of digital media with generative video tooling."
