Livepeer launches subnet for AI compute to process generative video
Livepeer AI tackles one of the most pressing challenges of the AI boom: the exponential demand for AI compute capacity
NEW YORK, May 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Open video infrastructure network Livepeer has announced the launch of its AI subnet. As the usage of generative AI increases, there’s a commensurate need for more adaptable, dynamic access to AI compute capabilities for builders, creators and developers, says Livepeer CEO Doug Petkanics:
“AI inference is one of the most costly and compute heavy challenges with generative AI,” says Livepeer CEO Doug Petkanics. “Our global network of decentralized nodes can serve the growing demand for AI compute – demand that will only grow exponentially as text-to-video models become embedded across entertainment, social media and gaming.”
The Livepeer AI subnet allows hardware providers to earn fees for contributing their GPUs for AI inference jobs such as text-to-image, text-to-video and image-to-video. The subnet is a fork of the main Livepeer network, which enables new AI capabilities while still using the Livepeer protocol for discovery and payments to nodes.
The goal of the subnet launch is to on-board nodes to support Livepeer’s new AI capabilities, perform testing and collect data from strategic test partners that benchmark the cost effectiveness of the Livepeer network for performing AI inference at scale, continues Petkanics:
“After validation, the team will merge these capabilities into the core Livepeer clients, add additional job types, and grow the ecosystem around leveraging additional forms of AI-based video compute. The goal is to enable AI developers to bring their own models, weights, fine-tunings, or deploy custom LoRAs on top of existing foundational models within the network. These will give the ultimate flexibility to developers, who can design bespoke workflows to support any type of AI media compute need imaginable.”
The team is currently targeting an August launch for the Livepeer AI mainnet, which will allow builders, creators and developers to leverage Livepeer’s cost-efficient, reliable and scalable infrastructure for all of their generative AI compute needs.
Livepeer joins the C2PA to fight deepfakes
Livepeer is the first open infrastructure network to join the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA), an open technical standard providing publishers, creators, and consumers the ability to trace the origin of different types of media. Other members include TikTok, Adobe, Google, Sony, Intel, BBC, Microsoft and OpenAI.
“When it comes to AI, content provenance is difficult,” says Petkanics. “The infrastructure layer is ideally positioned to be a crucial stopgap for misinformation, as it can seamlessly fingerprint content as it moves from creation to editing, distribution and consumption. We’re committed to supporting content authenticity wherever possible to rebuild trust and embed verifiable metadata that enables attribution at each stage of the content lifecycle.”

Bybit Expands Global Reach, Receives Formal Consent for Full Authorization in Kazakhstan
DUBAI, UAE, Sept. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, is excited to announce it’s among the first to be granted consent to a full authorization by the Astana Financial Service Authority (AFSA). This milestone brings Bybit closer to becoming a fully regulated Digital Asset Trading Facility (DATF).
As part of a rigorous process, Bybit Kazakhstan has passed a full AML check, business conduct audit, and detailed compliance inspections. This is part of Bybit’s focus on securing new user opportunities in Kazakhstan and the broader Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) region.
“Kazakhstan has become a key player in the global crypto ecosystem, and we are thrilled to be expanding our services in such a dynamic market,” said Ben Zhou, co-founder and CEO of Bybit. “We are committed to bringing our cutting-edge technology, security, and transparency to crypto traders in Kazakhstan, ensuring they can access the best possible tools and services to thrive in this fast-growing industry.”
Once the full license is in place, Bybit Kazakhstan will offer various digital assets related products and services. The expansion into Kazakhstan aligns with Bybit’s mission to provide reliable and transparent services, catering to the unique needs of crypto traders and investors in the region.
This development follows Bybit’s receipt of its initial operating and custody licenses from AFSA in June 2023, reinforcing its commitment to local regulatory requirements. Bybit’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its presence in Kazakhstan underscore its belief in responsible growth and ensuring a compliant and secure trading environment.
Kazakhstan has quickly emerged as a hub for crypto innovation, and Bybit is proud to play a leading role in fostering this development. For example, Bybit hosted a “Foundations of Blockchain, Web3 and Crypto Exchange Activities” course for Banks of Kazakhstan in 2024. This event was part of Bybit’s drive to make blockchain education more accessible in the CIS region.
By securing this full authorization, Bybit is poised to enhance crypto adoption, provide institutional-grade security, and offer advanced trading features to its growing regional user base.
