🚀 Livepeer Hits Record AI Fees

**Embody secures treasury funding** to onboard users and expand network demand, marking a significant milestone for the project. **Key developments:** - Live avatar demonstration successfully integrated into Zoom meetings - Real-time video generation achieved on consumer-grade GPU through Scope - Community response strong, with Reddit engagement surging The treasury approval enables Embody to scale its AI agent platform, which already supports employee training, product demonstrations, and medical education - all running on Livepeer infrastructure.

**Livepeer's infrastructure shift reveals market opportunity** AI inference workloads now generate 72% of Livepeer's network fees, marking a significant evolution from its original video processing focus. **Key developments:** - Network processes over 1 million minutes of video daily - Early adopters are reducing costs while building competitive advantages - Infrastructure originally built for low-latency video now serves AI workloads **What this means:** The transition demonstrates how distributed GPU infrastructure can serve multiple use cases. Builders leveraging this network are shipping products with cost structures competitors cannot match. The shift from video to AI workloads happened organically as developers discovered the network's capabilities aligned with inference needs. [Learn more about the network](https://www.livepeer.org/)

Livepeer has launched real-time AI video processing capabilities, offering significant cost savings of 50-80% compared to traditional cloud services. **Key Features:** - Real-time video-to-video AI processing now available - Built on decentralized infrastructure - Open source and community-powered **Try It Now:** Users can test the technology through [Daydream Live](https://daydream.live), an application built on Livepeer's infrastructure that demonstrates real-time video AI capabilities. The launch represents a practical application of decentralized video infrastructure, making AI video processing more accessible through lower costs while maintaining real-time performance.
