foundation @livepeer, organising stuff @chinwags_xyz
Cats out the bag and I'm excited to share a big personal update: I’m putting together a small but mighty team to launch the @Livepeer Foundation 🎉 Here’s what we’re building, and why now 🧵 1/
1/ 🚀 Today we’re excited to introduce the Livepeer Foundation: a new, neutral entity stewarding the next phase of growth, decentralization, and ecosystem coordination across the Livepeer network.
The future of the @Livepeer network is real-time video AI 🔥
StreamDiffusion community, if you're looking to push the limits of real-time AI video without being held back by hardware, read on. 🧵 We built a hosted version of StreamDiffusion that gives you remote GPU access - developed in collaboration with the open source community.…
Keep the eyes on the prize. What are we really doing here?
I think we should stop using the word decentralization Decentralization is not a goal Censorship resistance is a goal Composability is a goal Eliminating platform risk is a goal Normal people don't know what decentralization is, and they don't care about it.
Really real-time video AI @Livepeer 🔥
i vibe coded my childhood arcade dream in 5 hours. (to stop sitting 92hrs/wk)
Running this is genuinely one of the most rewarding things I have done in my career. Knowing where ~20 core ecosystem stakeholders stand on key topics makes life a hell of a lot easier when it comes to guiding a community-driven project 🔥
1/ @Livepeer Advisory Boards have published their Strategic Pillars 🎉 A critical step towards a community-driven project lifecycle: 1⃣ Define problem space wtih strategic pillars ✅ 2⃣ Prioritise with 12 months objectives 3⃣ Execute with core contributors Dive in 🧵 👇
Real-time video generation is arriving faster than most realize. StreamDiT, CausVideo, Self-Forcing, and Seaweed APT2 represent a new model architecture that enables temporal consistency and fast frame rate. A new era is emerging
Most "decentralised strategy" is 💩 But @Livepeer addresses most concerns w/: - System-wide MECE approach - Leverage community to find best talent - Focus people on problem space, no rush to solutions Read more about this novel approach 👇
