Devs debate "live AI video" vs fast generation

The lack of a shared definition for "real-time" video is causing market confusion.

• –True interactive models (like Decart's Oasis) or real-time avatars (HeyGen, Tavus) face fundamentally different latency and architectural constraints than fast generation models.
• –"Fast generation" is still fundamentally offline rendering, just optimized for speed, whereas true live inference requires continuous, stateful processing of an input stream.
• –As the space matures, we need distinct terminology to separate interactive generative worlds from high-throughput batch generation tools.
