Call-03 Agenda 2024-09-26

[hthillman]

Intro

Status Checks From Last Call

• Guidance re: repo ownership / etc (Thom + Hunter)
• Onchain ticket distinguishing using CallData (Victor + Rick)
• Streaming workflow architecture update

Open Discussion

• Path & timeline for LLMs
• Path & timeline for private LoRAs
• Path & timeline for C2PA
• (low-pri) API Designs: we currently have somewhat fragmented APIs, one for each kind of pipeline. There has been some discussion about designing a single generic API that runs any model depending on the payload. Should this be prioritized?
• Gateway Node [PROVIDER] Topics
  • How does a gateway operator manage/forcast the "spend" per month?
  • What levers (aka configuration methods) does a gateway operator have to lower or raise their prices?
  • Should there be protocol incentives to run a gateway?

Aquareum

Priorities

• Aquareum playback and testing for Aquareum playback on all of our supported platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, Web)
• "Start Streaming" interface, which allows for user key selection and allows configuration of C2PA metadata.
• Coordinate technical design of C2PA segment primitives with the intention of using them in the Livepeer Network.

Blockers

• The C2PA spec not supporting secp256k severely limits interoperability with Livepeer transcoding and the Ethereum ecosystem at-large. This may be on purpose. Blockchain bad and that.

Inc AI Gateway

Priorities

• (internal) Transition maintenance of AI Gateway to new team
• Design a new selection algorithm for AI jobs
• Iterate on AI gateway to support Supermodel
• Build an AI model gallery to showcase network capabilities

Blockers

• (soft) Better understanding of Supermodel needs and missing pieces to support them

Discussion topics

• (low-pri) API Design: we currently have somewhat fragmented APIs, one for each kind of pipeline. There has been some discussion about designing a single generic API that runs any model depending on the payload. Should this be prioritized?
  • An alternative could be to align on some general design principles for new API endpoints to avoid recurring discussions on how these should look like.

1. Gateway Node Topics
   • How does a gateway operator manage/forcast the "spend" per month?
   • What levers (aka configuration methods) does a gateway operator have to lower or raise their prices? (maxPricePerCapability, maxTotalEV, pricePerUnit, 'gateway reserve', others???)
   • Should there be protocol incentives to run a gateway? similar to Orchestrators?, totally difference?, not at all?
