  "title": "The Next Medium: Why Real-Time Interactive Video Changes Everything — Ahmed Ahres, Reactor",
  "why_included": "Reactor frames real-time video as a programmable session rather than a generated file, enabling interactive worlds and live editing but exposing hard state, latency, and evaluation problems.",
  "summary": "The talk divides real-time generative video into **three model types**: controllable continuous video, navigable world models, and live avatars. Reactor exposes four models by API, including interactive generation, multi-shot film, and video-to-video editing.",
  "practical_implication": "Builders should design these systems as stateful streaming sessions, not batch jobs returning files. Product work must account for pixel delivery, persistent session memory, user control, and enough compute to approach interactive frame rates.",

The speaker says **consistency evaluation is unsolved** and currently depends on human judgment.",
