Introducing Livepeer Cascade - A Vision For Livepeer’s Future in the Age of Real-Time AI Video
by Doug Petkanics, Livepeer Co-founder and CEO. I’m excited to introduce a vision for the next phase of the Livepeer Network - Cascade. This post will aim to:Provide a brief background on the 7+ year history of Livepeer from a product perspective.Introduce Cascade, a vision for how Livepeer can be the leading platform and community for the future of real-time AI video.Explain why this is a unique opportunity for Livepeer that is well suited to the project’s strengths.Outline the focus this ca...

Livepeer Recent Highlights: May and June in Review
The past two months have been packed with innovation, community engagement, and important developments for Livepeer. Here's a comprehensive look at the key highlights and milestones that have shaped the project’s journey recently.Livepeer AI LaunchOne of the most significant milestones was the successful launch of Livepeer AI in May. This critical infrastructure upgrade allows for advanced AI video capabilities, including text-to-image, image-to-image, and image-to-video transformations....

Introducing Livepeer AI
The dawn of generative AI marks a tidal shift in video creation. The generative video sector has been accelerating rapidly since Open AI's Sora demos showed what is possible when the barriers to video creation are reduced to entering text prompts into AI. The top open-source AI video model Stable Diffusion grew to more than 10 million users in just two months. But the promising growth of AI video tools faces a serious challenge. The $49 billion GPU market that powers generative AI is con...

We believe the possibilities of AI can be limitless when embracing the power of decentralization.
Consider just one segment: the AI-generated video sector. AI has already transformed video creation, reducing barriers to access and replacing content that once took entire teams to produce. However, that promise is limited by a serious challenge: It is powered by a largely centralized $49 billion GPU market that is controlled by a few global web2 monopolies (from NVIDIA hardware to Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services compute) that drives up prices and creates a global AI compute bottleneck.
Just a few months ago, our community launched Livepeer AI to take on this challenge. Through blockchain incentives and tokenomics, we can now leverage our decentralized network of hardware providers — a community that is already transcoding millions of hours of video weekly — to provide resources for AI-generated video as well. With decentralization, we can offer developers a much more pay-per-task model that is much more cost-effective than renting expensive GPU capacity from centralized operators.
Unlike traditional cloud services, our model creates an infinitely scalable network of GPUs as demand increases. This open, affordable compute network can power limitless creation, invention and scaling for AI tools and the creators who use them — and ours is just one example of the innovative communities using token-enabled decentralization to catalyze the advancement of AI.
That is why the Livepeer community is proud to announce Limitless, an exclusive event to network and learn from the leading voices in crypto and AI. Submit your RSVP below to join the top tech investors, executives, and AI trailblazers at Limitless.
Limitless is a unique opportunity to share, network and find new venues for collaboration around token-powered AI. We are bringing together speakers and leaders from some of the top web3 and AI companies in the world, including DCG, Akash, Render, Coinfund, Pantera, OKX and more. The audience will be a curated group of venture capitalists, institutional investors, asset managers, and executives from the top tokenized AI projects.
Join us on Sept. 17 at the world-famous ArtScience Museum in Singapore, where we will have a welcome luncheon and speeches from visionary innovators, plus time for entertainment, networking and collaboration.
Limitless is about more than just knowledge sharing - it’s about participation and engagement with AI tools. That’s why Livepeer is launching the AI-generated media contest: a call to all AI builders and creators to experiment with these cutting edge tools for the chance to win two suite tickets to the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix event — more details on that below.

Are you ready to break boundaries and redefine what’s possible? Livepeer invites you to participate in Unbounded Creativity: The Limitless Challenge!
Create an image, GIF, or short video that pushes the limits of AI-powered media and showcases a future where creativity knows no bounds. Top entries will be showcased at Limitless, with a chance to win two suite-level tickets to the F1 Grand Prix Event on the 20th of September. The top submissions will be selected by the Livepeer team and presented at Limitless, with investors casting a live vote to select the final winner.
Theme: Participants are invited to use generative AI tools to create content —whether an image, GIF, or short video—that embodies the theme of “Unbounded Creativity.” This challenge encourages you to visualize a future where AI, decentralization, and innovation redefine media, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.
Requirements: You may use any generative AI tool of your choosing. Individuals can submit a maximum of three submissions. You must be present at the Limitless event on September 17th when the winner is announced in order to claim the contest prize.
Deadline: Submissions will be accepted until 11:59 PM EST on September 12.
Unleash your creativity, embrace the limitless, and be part of shaping the future of media. We can’t wait to see what you create. Enter your submission below.
