At the Limitless event, leaders in tokenized AI discussed how decentralization enables more open and accessible AI innovation.​ Key points:

  • Tokens incentivize diverse participants to create secure, efficient systems
  • Livepeer token rewards GPU contributions for video processing and AI
  • Render Network distributes consumer GPU power for rendering and ML jobs
  • SingularityNET combines with other projects to avoid centralized control
  • Ocean Protocol incentivizes algorithm contributions and data exchange

While early stage, decentralized networks provide an alternative to centralized AI control.​ As Bruce Pon of Ocean Protocol noted, "Decentralized networks are critical for preserving freedom in AI.​"

Real-Time AI Video Generation Cuts Processing Time from Minutes to Milliseconds

**Traditional AI video workflows are being disrupted by real-time generation technology.** The old process required multiple steps: - Crafting prompts (5 minutes) - Uploading video (2 minutes) - Processing (8 minutes) - Multiple adjustment cycles (3+ minutes each) - Re-rendering (8+ minutes per attempt) Total time: Often 10+ minutes for final results. **The new approach delivers instant results:** - Type prompt - Get immediate output Real-time AI video generates every frame on-the-fly with under 100ms latency. Applications include transforming webcam feeds instantly, world models that generate game environments responding to player input, and sports analysis during live games. This shift from batch processing to real-time generation represents a fundamental change in how AI video tools operate.
