Decentraland is one of web3’s most popular virtual worlds. Now Carlton, a member of the Livepeer community excited about the potential of low latency video, plans to make ultra low latency (ULL) video streaming a reality in this expanding metaverse – thanks to a Livepeer Grant. Video in Decentraland currently faces a 10-20-second delay, known as latency. That means live streams can take up to 20 seconds to reach users, making true real-time interaction between creators and audiences challengi...

It all started with a catnap. Browsing the Internet one day, cat lover (and owner!) Jun Gong stumbled upon a Reddit broadcasting room and found 2,000 people happily absorbed in watching a livestream of a sleeping cat. Between one feline breath and another, inspiration struck. Jun already knew pet videos were huge on the Internet. They are some of the most searched-for digital content and there are plenty out there to view. Cat-related videos on YouTube alone are uploaded at a pace of 90,000 p...

By Doug PetkanicsIntroductionWhen people find out that the Livepeer network has thousands of GPUs actively being used to transcode millions of minutes of video per week, one of the most common questions that gets asked is whether those GPUs could be put to use to perform other types of compute. In particular, with the rise of AI in 2023, and the associated growth in demand for GPUs, the hardware that is used to perform AI training and inference, it is naturally assumed that the Livepeer netwo...
