Livepeer AI introduced the world’s first AI video platform with decentralized processing and AI compute capability. Today, Livepeer unveils the next chapter in the network’s AI journey: the Livepeer AI Video Startup Program.

Generative AI models like Sora, Runway, and Stable Diffusion have fundamentally transformed video production, making it more accessible than ever. To harness this potential, Livepeer welcomes the first cohort of AI video startups, ushering in the next generation of applications at the intersection of decentralized AI and generative media.

The Livepeer AI Video Startup Program is a bespoke three-month initiative designed to accelerate the development of decentralized AI video technologies and applications.

The inaugural cohort of eight startups was hand-picked by the Livepeer tech team based on their commitment to open-source and decentralized technology, a focus on creating nimble, user-centric products, and a strong interest in using the Livepeer network for AI inference tasks.

Livepeer AI enhances video capabilities on the network. Startups will focus on integrating generative AI features into their applications, such as text-to-image, image-to-image, image-to-video, upscaling, and speech-to-text. Developers can use established pipelines or build and deploy their own, working closely with the Livepeer AI engineering team.

The program offers selected startups $20,000 in grant funding, infrastructure credits for AI inference and transcoding, and expert mentorship from the Livepeer tech team.

Participants will also gain early access to Livepeer’s cutting-edge AI video infrastructure, with opportunities for co-marketing and partnership activation. The program culminates in early October.

Livepeer is proud to introduce the startups joining the AI Video Startup Program:

Flipguard: Transforming community engagement on Discord with AI-powered features like image creation, event management, and interactive games. Flipguard aims to enhance its offerings with new quest features and an enriched user experience.

Katana: Revolutionizes content creation by auto-generating engaging short clips and summaries from long-form videos. Katana leverages Livepeer’s distributed transcription API to train its own models for superior video content creation.

Newcoin: Creates dynamic video content by converting text prompts into video files using Livepeer’s API. This tool is set to redefine video interaction on the Newcoin OS platform.

Operator: Specializes in meme creation, using custom AI models to produce themed backgrounds and distinctive visual styles. This autonomous agent generates memes with a unique aesthetic and viral appeal.

Origin: Enhances its VPM application to offer co-created video experiences with improved user experience and efficiency. New features, including advanced video editing tools and integrations, will broaden its market reach and capabilities.

Refraction:  Integrates Livepeer AI into its Regenerate video filter tool to provide powerful generative AI functionalities like text-to-image and image-to-video transformations. This enhances real-time visual effects for streaming and live performances.

Supermodel: Leverages Livepeer’s infrastructure to deliver real-time trend insights and forecasts for the fashion industry. By applying AI models to video feeds, Supermodel provides brands with valuable consumer insights and demand forecasts. (Currently in stealth).

StreamEth: Implements a suite of AI-powered features to revolutionize video content management and viewing experience. Their software unlocks video clipping workflows and multilingual video alteration.

Livepeer disrupts the centralized grip of traditional compute providers by leveraging thousands of GPUs already on its network. This significantly reduces costs, enabling on-demand AI video generation without the need for expensive, dedicated servers. With Livepeer’s established network transcribing millions of minutes of video weekly, startups can access high-reliability AI compute affordably.

Livepeer AI an open-source, decentralized marketplace of GPU power, ensuring that advancements in AI video technology remain transparent, resilient, and accessible. By fostering an open-source ecosystem, Livepeer not only supports collaborative development but also provides a fertile ground for groundbreaking innovations in AI and video.

You can expect regular updates from the AI video program, both from Livepeer and the teams building the next generation of applications.
