Infinite Slop switches to portrait video
Pieter Levels switched Infinite Slop’s AI-generated livestream from landscape 16:9 to portrait 9:16 after finding that most traffic comes from mobile users. The move better fits TikTok-style viewing, though supporting multiple formats would significantly increase generation costs.
Portrait is the right distribution decision, but it exposes how AI video products remain constrained by compute economics.
- –9:16 matches mobile viewing habits and short-form video platforms
- –Traffic data, rather than creator preference, is driving the product format
- –Supporting both aspect ratios would raise generation costs substantially
- –Infinite Slop shows how faster video inference enables interactive, audience-directed livestreams
- –Generation throughput remains the bottleneck as demand grows
