Marco van Dijk has seen Livepeer from almost every angle.

His story is a rare look at what happens when someone builds from inside the stack.
NEW RELEASE Scope v0.2.5 from @DaydreamLiveAI
Current image-to-agent avatars land as flat talking faces. Scope v0.2.5 sharpens conversational avatar workflows by skipping CPU offload on high-VRAM GPUs, boosting generation speed.
Last week, we shipped the tutorial for a real-time conversational AI avatar in #Scope, running on a single GPU with a 24GB VRAM floor and LTX 2.3 model. You can see the demo of it running.
This week, we are taking it further and answering the question: When does running this
The expansion of @Livepeer from a transcoding network to a realtime AI video infrastructure is well underway. Here are some of the highlights, and some of the upcoming challenges for the ecosystem:
Highlights:
* AI fees represent over 60% of the share of the network.
* Quarterly fee capture at an all time high.
* Diverse AI job types from generative realtime AI video and world models, to embodied agents, to LLM inference for OpenClaw, to audio and media generation.
* Inflation rate decreasing daily for 6 months+ and continuing to fall.
* Agent-based network access through MCPs and skill files.
Challenges ahead:
* AI apps built on the network moving from development and beta into scaled production use with product market fit.
* Eliminate or reduce circular fees (Gateways using only their own hardware and not falling over to broader network for scale.)
* Better DevX for using the Network as a Product.

Kicking off a new push on delegator UX, starting with transparency, thanks @b3nnn21 for driving this.
You can now check orchestrator reward & fee cut history and easily subscribe to updates. Shoutout to @0xVires for the Telegram bot and @RaidGuild for maintaining the Explorer and reviewing.
More on the way, including native notifications and better visibility into delegator earnings, keep an eye on the Explorer over the next month.
"The AI buildout so far has been about making models smarter. The next phase is about building the infrastructure to run them for billions of users." @a16z
We see this on the cutting edge of media AI. Everyone is playing with and tuning models. Soon it'll be time to build apps.
Without an open internet, all that’s left is censorship.
The internet should be what it was always meant to be, an open, accessible ecosystem.
The path forward is building open-access products built on the Livepeer network.

Next Monday's Realtime AI Video Summit during open source AI week in SF is going to be looked back upon in a couple years as a seminal event early in the maturity of what will be a huge video world model market. The authors of StreamDiffusion, StreamV2V, and Self-Forcing amongst others all in one place to share insights, learnings, and the latest tools and tutorials. luma.com/seh85x03
Great couple of days in Portugal with the @Livepeer crew and all the community! It was great to meet people that I hadn't met before and finally to see real people behind the avatars!
I gave a talk at this week's @Livepeer summit highlighting the history of innovations that the project has spurred in the decentralized tech space over the last decade, all while powering millions of minutes of video processing per week for global streaming and AI applications:
✅ The LiveInfra SPE proposal passed in July!
It enhances the Community Arbitrum Node, giving Livepeer builders free, reliable RPC access with improved uptime, redundancy, and performance.
A win for public goods and developer experience.
