Stronk Livepeer & AI Update

Codebase Updates

The LoRa PRs have been merged and the txt2vid pipeline PR is currently in code review. These updates are paving the way for the next phase of improvements.

AI Dashboard Decoupling

With Livepeer AI becoming more feature-complete, we are decoupling our AI dashboard from our AI fork and instead run it on the public network. This enables more models, pipelines and frees up a GPU, which will be added to the AI subnet!

EU transcoding Upgrade

The EU node has been underperforming due to overutilization during peak times. To address this, we are replacing the current 2x 4060 Ti cards with 3x 4000 ADA cards to triple our stream capacity.

EU Network Infrastructure Overhaul

We have completed a complete restructuring of our network infrastructure to ensure better performance, reliability, and security. This includes installing new high-performance switches and routers to maximize throughput and minimize latency, along with advanced intrusion detection systems to safeguard our operations. These upgrades bring our setup in line with what you would expect from a modern data center, providing a robust foundation for future growth and stability.

New AI Machine Setup

In addition to the existing AI machine equipped with 4090s (ideal for video diffusion due to their speed) a new machine is being set up. It features 2x 6000 ADA cards for LLM’s, Flux, or other high VRAM models, as well as 1x 4000 ADA (available once the AI dashboard is decoupled). This setup will significantly expand our capacity to handle diverse AI workloads.

Thanks for your support! I’m excited about these upgrades and the positive impact they’ll bring. A big shoutout to all my Delegators for making these kinds of investments possible.
