Ultimately, the opportunity is to allow video developers to deploy their own models, fine tunings, and video related workflows on the network - integrated with Livepeer's great open source media server and hosted gateways like @livepeerstudio .

The plan starts with a quick fork of the Livepeer node software integrated with AI tasks, a demonstration app to let users play with these tasks, and public goods funding from the Livepeer treasury to pay for the inference on the network.

This post, by Livepeer founder @petkanics , shares a path for quickly validating that the Livepeer network can run generative video models, and collect the data about how cost disruptive Livepeer can be relative to traditional big tech cloud infrastructure.

Livepeer has adhered to the mission of building the world's open video infrastructure. Video is a heavy form of media requiring significant compute, and as open source AI models that can generate and augment video have now emerged, the time is right to use Livepeer to run them.

Demand for AI infrastructure has exploded in 2023, with NVidia's data center business alone growing from $4B to $10B to $14B of revenue in just 6 months. This is driven by demand for GPUs to train and run inference on AI models.
