- Livepeer Protocol
go-livepeer(Docker or source deployment) which is the core implementation for Gateway nodes - SDK/Custom (Python, browser, mobile) which provide custom language abstractions for the Livepeer Protcol
- DevOps Managed Platforms (eg. GWID) which abstract the Deployment Operations and provide a ‘one-click deploy’ experience.
- Hosted (Livepeer Studio, Cloud SPE) which provide Gateway application layer services (not a gateway deployment)
- Off-chain uses a remote signer for payments and manual orchestrator discovery.
- On-chain connects directly to the Livepeer Network on Arbitrum for payments and automatic pooled orchestrator discovery.
- Video (RTMP transcoding)
- AI (Inference & real-time AI routing)
- Dual (both pieplines on a single node)
Setup Types
- go-livepeer
- SDK / Custom
- Managed Platform
- Hosted Gateway
The standard gateway binary. Covers all node types - Video transcoding, AI inference, and Dual (both) - and supports both operational modes.Install options: Docker (recommended) or build from source.Operational mode is an independent choice:Node type is also an independent choice:
- Video - RTMP transcoding to HLS. Replaces cloud services (Mux, AWS MediaLive, Wowza).
- AI - inference routing (text-to-image, image-to-video, LLM, audio-to-text, and more).
- Dual - both video and AI on a single node. Linux only for the AI component.
