Twitch Hype Train world records are a rare thing. The ultimate show of dedication from a creator’s fanbase, these accumulative trains rely on a streamer’s viewers donating subscriptions or Bits to the channel. Neuro-sama beat her own world record at the end of December 2024 and now, well, she’s only gone and done it again. The hat trick of Hype Train world records belongs to the AI VTuber, her sister Evil Neuro, and their creator Vedal987.
For the uninitiated, or those outside of the “Swarm”–the name for Neuro’s fanbase–Neuro is an AI VTuber created by Vedal who utilizes a large language model and a VTuber model to communicate with her Twitch chat, play games, and even go on adventures in VR thanks to the 3D version of her model. Neuro was originally created to play the rhythm game OSU on Twitch, but rapidly evolved to become a series of AI systems that work in harmony. Vedal created a program that takes its input from Twitch and voice, gives that input to the LLM, which is then sent to a text-to-speech system, resulting in the Neuro we know today. It’s for that reason that Neuro is widely considered far from the “AI slop” that many people take issue with.
