The open-source real-time AI video landscape is rapidly evolving, and Daydream is positioning itself at its core. The community hub has announced two significant releases that expand its infrastructure, directly linking creators, developers, and researchers who are building the next generation of interactive AI systems. These milestones enhance the tools available for experimentation and production, bringing new levels of quality and control to real-time video generation.
Daydream released Scope, an open-source development environment for building and testing real-time AI video workflows locally.
The platform now features SDXL support for StreamDiffusion, enabling high-fidelity, low-latency video generation.
Enhanced control is achieved through Image-Based Style Control (IPAdapters) and accelerated Multi-ControlNet support for precise spatial and temporal adjustments.
TensorRT Acceleration ensures optimized performance, delivering smooth 15-25 FPS playback even with complex models.
These releases consolidate Daydream's role as a central hub, connecting fragmented tools and models into a cohesive, open ecosystem.
The advancements are already being integrated by developers and creative technologists into applications like TouchDesigner components.
Daydream Scope is designed as a foundational, open-source toolkit that allows developers to build, test, and visualize real-time video and world-model workflows on their local machines. By providing modular interfaces, Scope enables the seamless integration of various models for inference, control, and remixing in real time, creating an extensible workspace for creative technologists.
Eric Tang, Co-Founder of Livepeer, Inc., the parent company behind Daydream, emphasized the tool's significance, stating, “Scope represents a foundational layer for the next generation of world models.” Currently in community alpha, Scope already supports models like LongLive, StreamDiffusionV2, and Krea Realtime 14B, with new additions being integrated weekly.
The integration of StreamDiffusion with SDXL support marks a major leap forward in real-time generation quality. This release allows Daydream to merge multiple research tracks into a single, production-ready stack. Key components of this enhanced platform provide creators with unprecedented control and performance. Image-Based Style Control via IPAdapters offers dynamic, image-driven style transfer with dedicated modes for artistic style and consistent character rendering. Furthermore, accelerated Multi-ControlNet support for HED, Depth, Pose, and others provides fine-tuned spatial and temporal precision. Underpinning it all is TensorRT Acceleration, which leverages optimized NVIDIA inference to ensure consistent, high-frame-rate performance.
These releases solidify Daydream's evolution into the central hub of the real-time video generation stack. By linking models, creators, and infrastructure within an open ecosystem, Daydream is bringing coherence and advanced capability to a field ripe for innovation, empowering developers to build the next wave of AI-powered applications.
Daydream, a product of Livepeer, Inc., is a community hub for open-source real-time AI video and world model technology. Daydream provides the infrastructure, research, and tools for developers, researchers, and creative technologists to build, deploy, and share next-generation interactive AI systems.
