How ProSieben scaled Germany’s Next Top Model TOPSHOT for real-time AI portraits with Gcore
To celebrate the 20th season of Germany’s Next Top Model (GNTM), ProSieben’s marketing team launched GNTM TOPSHOT, an AI-powered feature in the Joyn app that instantly transforms user photos into studio-grade, show-inspired portraits.At broadcast scale, the challenge was steep: handle massive primetime spikes, deliver results instantly, and guarantee strict EU privacy compliance. To make it possible, ProSieben turned to Gcore Everywhere Inference.“We needed something that could scale on demand, deliver in seconds, and keep data local. Gcore’s infrastructure let us bring a creative idea to life - without breaking the user experience.”- Simon Hawe, Technical Lead, JoynThe challenge: broadcast-scale creativity in real timeTOPSHOT had to satisfy five tough, non-negotiable requirements:Primetime surges. Usage surged before, during, and after live broadcasts across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.Ultra-low latency. Fans expected results within 5 - 10 seconds per portrait, end-to-end.Privacy by design. Joyn deletes all photos immediately to keep user data truly private - no caching, no storage. Caching wasn’t an option; every request had to be generated fresh.High fidelity. Each portrait required a ~100-stage pipeline for segmentation, relighting, skin/pose preservation, and compositing, to match GNTM’s signature aesthetic.Frictionless UX. No login required. The feature had to “just work,” even on mobile connections.Turning fans into models in real timeProSieben needed an inference platform that was scalable, privacy-compliant, and easy to integrate. Gcore Everywhere Inference delivered:One endpoint, nearest node. Smart Routing automatically sent each request to the closest GPU endpoint, minimizing jitter and wait times.Autoscaling GPUs. Serverless orchestration spun GPU capacity up or down in real time, handling unpredictable primetime peaks.EU-ready deployments. Hybrid support (on-prem, Gcore Cloud, public cloud) gave ProSieben full flexibility on data residency.Optimized for image workloads. Everywhere Inference ran TOPSHOT’s complex pipelines on NVIDIA H100, A100, and L40S GPUs - excellent for generative image models.“Our biggest challenge was combining visual fidelity with real-time response. Gcore’s Smart Routing and auto-scaling made that possible at primetime scale.”- Benjamin Risom, Chief Product Officer, JoynThe architecture allowed ProSieben to:Route all traffic through a single inference endpoint, fronted by their own load balancerKeep portrait generation under 10 seconds - even during broadcast surgesMeet strict privacy guarantees: no logins, no storage of inputs or outputsDeliver a seamless experience inside the Joyn appTOPSHOT went live with five portrait scenes in April 2025, with three more added weeks later.“We could focus on the creative, knowing the infrastructure would scale with us. That made it possible to deliver something really special for our viewers.”— Sebastian v. Wyschetzki, Creative Lead, Seven.One Entertainment GroupReal-time engagement, broadcast scaleTOPSHOT launched into a season already driving cultural buzz.The GNTM Season 20 finale (June 19, 2025) drew 3.87M viewers with a 22.4% share in the 14 - 49 demo.Joyn saw 10M viewers in April 2025 (+80% YoY) and a 40% increase in watch time in Q1 2025 YoY.TV Total host Sebastian Pufpaff demoed TOPSHOT live on air, praising the visuals and sparking organic uptake.Trade press highlighted the “scalable Gcore infrastructure” behind the feature.“Gcore’s platform gave us regional performance, privacy control, and GPU scaling without the heavy lifting of building and managing infrastructure ourselves.”— Paolo Garri, Infrastructure Architect, JoynWhat’s next?Building on TOPSHOT’s success, ProSieben is playing with new potential fan-facing AI experiences: video portraits, real-time filters, or stylized animations. With Gcore’s flexible infrastructure, the team is free to keep experimenting without re-architecting.“The success of TOPSHOT showed us what’s possible. Now we’re asking: how far can we take this?”— Jutta Meyer, Executive VP Marketing & Creation, Seven.One Entertainment Group
