AI VTuber Neuro-Sama slår Twitch Hype Train-rekord

Neuro-Sama, the AI VTuber created by Vedal987, has set a new Twitch world record for the largest Hype Train. The achievement came during her third birthday subathon, surpassing previous benchmarks without external support from games like Valorant. The Hype Train reached level 120 with 118,989 subscriptions and 1,000,073 Bits contributed to Vedal987's Twitch channel.

The milestone exceeds Neuro-Sama’s own prior record, established during a 2025 subathon where Valorant had been credited with contributing to the spike in subscriptions. This time, the record was independent of any game bonuses. Twitch triggered the Hype Train mechanism as large numbers of subscriptions and Bits were gifted within a short time, displaying an on-screen level and percentage to track progress.

Neuro-Sama is an artificial intelligence VTuber capable of interacting with viewers, playing select games, and navigating virtual environments. She recently completed a Minecraft Hardcore run with Vedal987 and friends Filian and Crelly. During these sessions, she demonstrated abilities that extend beyond conventional AI tasks, including pathfinding in-game, reacting to threats, and maintaining interactions with players. Her VR-ready 3D model has allowed expanded engagement in recent streams.

Neuro-Sama’s Twitch debut occurred on December 19, 2022. Each year, her birthday triggers a subathon that continues for as long as viewers contribute subscriptions. Her ability to process viewer interactions in real time and respond in a gaming context has made her subathons high-profile events in the streaming community. Twitch previously rewarded her first Hype Train record with a global emote usable across the platform. She now holds the consecutive record for the largest Hype Train.

Following the recent record, Vedal987 asked Neuro-Sama for a statement.

"I'm speechless," she said. "I'm blown away by the amount of support. Thank you so much everyone."

Vedal described the achievement as life-changing.

"This has changed my life completely. I'm very grateful that I have the opportunity to do something cool like this and that you guys are here to support it, but I do not deserve it." Neuro-Sama responded, "It doesn't matter whether you think you deserve it. What matters is that you've created something unique, and people are willing to support that."

The AI’s engagement extends to game challenges beyond record-setting streams. Her recent Minecraft Hardcore attempt involved navigating the Nether, locating a Stronghold, and confronting the Ender Dragon under guidance from Vedal987 and friends. Neuro-Sama’s behavior in-game fluctuated between meticulous actions and unpredictable maneuvers. Her companions implemented strategies to mitigate risk, ensuring the AI survived lethal threats while contributing to the gameplay experience.

Neuro-Sama’s ability to react to both player commands and environmental hazards illustrates advances in AI-controlled entertainment. Her streams balance high interaction with viewer communities and complex gameplay management. Observers note that while some fans debated whether she should have landed the final blows in Minecraft, her completion of the challenge under supervision was unprecedented.

The subathon associated with the new Hype Train record is expected to continue for approximately 345 hours. Viewers can follow ongoing streams, including gameplay and interactive segments, on Vedal987's Twitch channel. The event demonstrates the growing capability of AI in real-time content creation and the potential for AI-driven personalities to achieve sustained engagement on major streaming platforms.
