What is an Orchestrator?

An orchestrator is a supply-side operator that contributes GPU resources to the network. They receive jobs, perform transcoding or AI inference, and get paid via LPT rewards + ETH fees.

What does an Orchestrator do?

An orchestrator runs a node that performs transcoding or AI inference. They receive jobs from the network, execute them on their GPU resources, and return the results.

What are the different types of Orchestrators?

There are two types of orchestrators on the Livepeer Network: GPU nodes and AI nodes. GPU nodes perform transcoding, while AI nodes perform AI inference.

Who Runs Orchestrators?

Anyone with a GPU can run an orchestrator on the Livepeer Network, whether you want to add your GPU to the network for passive income in idle times, or you want to run a full-fledged business. If you’re a hobbyist, the best place to start is by contributing your GPU to a pool. If you’re a data center or want to have full control over your node, you can run your own GPU node.
