What is Neuro-sama?
Created by solo developer vedal987, Neuro-sama is an LLM-driven avatar who chats, sings, plays games and reacts to chat — nearly around the clock — and who by January 2026 was reported as the most-subscribed channel on Twitch. She is the anchor reference for 'the AI is the streamer': a single flagship channel rather than a deployable product, and the proof that the category is not hypothetical.
