ETHDenver Week
ETHDenver has been revitalizing. It was refreshing to meet so many from the Livepeer community and swap theses on the future of decentralized AI and video.
After four days of keynotes, panel discussions, and meet ‘n greets, we also found that there’s a clear consensus that the fate of AI and open networks is intertwined.
A $25K prize pool was on the line for developers seeking to create AI applications that utilize Livepeer’s capabilities and the devs didn’t disappoint. The caliber of submissions received for the AI Video Integrations Bounty was impressive.
Doug Petkanics and Shannon Wells delivered different keynotes and spoke at numerous side events unpacking DePIN’s potential amidst the AI boom and how Livepeer is perfectly positioned to provide this infrastructure to make AI Video compute cost-effective.
The focus on web3, decentralized video, and AI has left a lasting impression, underlining our collective outlook geared toward embracing and leveraging innovation for future initiatives and developments within the community.
