Description
The Daydream team is kicking off a new cohort of the Daydream AI Video Program, a hands-on, two-week program for developers and creative technologists working with real-time AI video.The program runs February 9–20. You'll get 1:1 support and access to cloud infrastructure, and you’ll get a chance to work alongside others building in this space. We'll give out more than $5K in prizes during the two weeks. It's free to participate. Applications close Feb 6.Apply here: https://daydream.live/interactive-ai-video-program?utm_sourc...Happy to answer questions about the program or the tech.

Could you build this?
No Real-time AI video generation is frontier-tier deep tech requiring specialized low-latency model inference pipelines, custom CUDA kernels, and massive GPU cluster orchestration.
What it would actually take: Building real-time generative video requires cutting-edge diffusion/autoregressive model architectures optimized with TensorRT, custom CUDA kernels, and sub-100ms pipeline streaming via WebRTC. It requires specialized cloud infrastructure with fleets of high-end GPUs (H100/A100s) and complex multi-GPU frame pipelining to maintain real-time frame rates. The project demands deep machine learning research engineering and low-level GPU acceleration skills.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a dev tools tool for Sales yet.
