Open infrastructure
for real-time AI video
Generate, transform, and interpret live video streams with low-latency AI inference on an open and permissionless elastic GPU network.
We'll notify you when access opens up.
Use Cases
What you can build with Livepeer
From generated worlds and real-time video analysis to autonomous avatars and live transcoding — the network powers every real-time AI video use case.
AI-Generated Worlds
Interactive environments produced frame-by-frame with real-time inference on live video.
Real-Time Video Analysis
Computer vision and object detection running as always-on AI pipelines with low latency.
Composable AI Pipelines
Chain inference models into multi-stage pipelines that process video end to end.
Live Transcoding & Streaming
Adaptive bitrate transcoding across a global GPU network with sub-second latency.
AI Avatars & Agents
Motion capture and style transfer powering persistent digital identities in real time.
Synthetic Data Generation
Generate labeled training data at scale — video frames, annotations, and augmentations.
About Livepeer
Real‑time AI video APIs for developers and agents alike
Get an API key, pick a model, start sending frames. The network handles GPU routing, billing, and SLA enforcement.
1.Authenticate & connect
Create an API key and choose a billing provider. Your key authenticates requests, your provider handles routing and payments.
2.Pick a model
Browse available models optimized for real-time inference. See latency, type, and health across the network.
{ workflow: "world-model-v1" }
3.Start streaming
Open a session, send frames, receive outputs. The gateway routes your stream to the best-performing GPU provider.
4.Ship with confidence
Published SLAs on latency, uptime, and failure rate. Track performance per workflow, region, and GPU provider.
Why Livepeer
Purpose-built for live AI inference
Where generic GPU clouds optimize for batch workloads, Livepeer is built from the ground up for continuous inference on live video streams.
Cost Reduction
Usage-based GPU pricing with no reserved instances or idle capacity.
Real-Time Latency
Purpose-built for continuous, frame-by-frame AI inference on live video.
Cold Start
Warm GPUs 24/7 — inference starts immediately on every stream.
Elastic Scale
Go from 1 to 10,000 streams without provisioning a single GPU.
