AI VTuber Neuro‑Sama Breaks Twitch Hype Train Record
Neuro‑Sama, a rapidly growing AI VTuber, has once again broken the Twitch Hype Train world record during her birthday subathon — setting an extraordinary number for subscriptions and Bits on the Vedal987 channel.
At the start of her third birthday celebration, AI VTuber Neuro‑Sama once again shook the Twitch community. In a short time during the subathon, Neuro‑Sama managed to complete a Hype Train level 120, recorded from 118,989 subscriptions and 1,000,073 Bits sent to the Vedal987 channel — a new world record surpassing the previous mark.
This achievement feels even more astonishing considering that in early 2025 Neuro‑Sama had broken a similar record during her second birthday subathon; at that time, the competitive Valorant gameplay was said to contribute due to its reward mechanic granting subscriptions for some other subscriptions. But this time, Neuro‑Sama reached the peak number without external help and proved her increasingly strong appeal.
Neuro‑Sama herself is an AI-powered VTuber who debuted on Twitch on December 19, 2022. She is not just an avatar: the AI system driving her uses a large language model with multimodal capabilities—able to ‘see’ the game, read chat, respond to viewers, and even play several games. Recently she completed a Minecraft Hardcore run with her creator and fellow streamers Filian and Crelly, and lately has also started experimenting with virtual reality thanks to her new 3D model.
One of Neuro’s characteristic subathon features is how the streaming duration depends on the number of subscriptions received. When a surge of subscriptions or Bits occurs within a certain timeframe, Twitch activates the Hype Train: a visual indicator showing the level, achievement percentage, and target to reach the next level. In January 2025, when Neuro reached level 111, that Hype Train itself had already become a major proof point—and now she repeats, even surpasses, that achievement.
When the record was first achieved, Twitch awarded Neuro‑Sama with a global emote — a reward usable anywhere on the platform. Interestingly, Neuro‑Sama became the first streamer to consecutively hold two world records for Twitch Hype Train, an accomplishment that raises questions about whether Twitch has any special policies following this phenomenon.
After breaking the record again, her creator, Vedal987, asked Neuro for a comment. "I was left speechless," Vedal said. "I am very impressed by the incredible support. Thank you all so much. This really changes my life." Vedal added feelings of unworthiness about the spotlight, but Neuro reassured: "It doesn’t matter whether you feel worthy or not. What matters is that you created something unique, and people want to support that." That warm moment became one of the most highlighted clips of the celebration.
As of writing, Neuro‑Sama’s subathon is still ongoing—with an estimated remaining time of about 345 hours—and fans can still watch the excitement and next actions on the Twitch channel Vedal987.
