Listen to early Livepeer advocate, Shannon Wells, discuss how Livepeer is becoming the real-time media substrate of the new, AI-powered internet.

Competitive Edge

hmmm… fix me

Video is one of the most compute-intensive workloads on the internet — and historically one of the most centralized. Today, most video and AI workloads are:

Expensive to run
Locked into proprietary cloud providers
Opaque in pricing and performance
Difficult to scale globally without long-term contracts

Livepeer takes a different approach. Instead of centralized data centers, Livepeer coordinates a global, permissionless marketplace of GPUs — where independent operators compete on price, performance, and reliability. This model enables:

5–10× lower costs compared to traditional cloud video processing
Built-in redundancy and global distribution
Transparent, usage-based pricing
Open participation on both the supply and demand side
