❤️ About your host:
Daydream is an open, cloud-based platform for real-time generative video, built on top of the Livepeer decentralized GPU network.
It gives developers and researchers hosted diffusion model APIs (SDXL, SD 1.5, SD-Turbo), SDKs, and ready made real-time video pipelines such as StreamDiffusion.
By combining open-source research (e.g., StreamDiffusion, ControlNet, IPAdapter) with scalable GPU infrastructure, Daydream lets creators, engineers, and studios prototype, build, and deploy real-time AI video applications without managing their own GPU servers.
