## AI overview

Neuron Systems used six agents and Confluent's Data Streaming Platform to provide multilingual live commentary for all 104 FIFA World Cup 2026 matches. The platform processed 42.1 million production events, maintained a median glass-to-glass latency of 42 milliseconds, and supported millions of fans while keeping commentary synchronized.

## Source excerpt

Every one of the 42.1 million production events flowed through Confluent's Data Streaming Platform and that single decision is what let a small team serve a global tournament without the commentary ever falling out of sync.
