Open networks are now being used to evaluate real-time video models, marking a practical step in decentralized infrastructure development.
Key Development:
- Real-time video model evaluation is now happening on open networks
- This builds on earlier work with generative video models on decentralized infrastructure
- The shift represents progress toward accessible, open-source video processing capabilities
This development follows the 2023 release of Stable Video Diffusion, which demonstrated the potential for generative video models on open infrastructure networks.
Evaluating real-time video models on the open network.
Quick #Scope tip from one of our engineers: in the Workflow Builder, you can wire multiple sinks into the same pipeline and compare outputs side by side, live. Feed the source to the pipeline, split the output two ways: One branch through rife, one "raw". Take the same
Livepeer Launches Real-Time AI Video at 50-80% Lower Cost Than Cloud Providers
