World’s first AI codec

February 12, 2025

Talk, Jan Ozer Interview, London

In this video, we introduce the world’s first AI codec into FFMPEG and VLC. We highlight the benifits of AI codecs and show their readiness through a demonstration on current hardware.

Primer on AI based compression

April 29, 2024

Talk, Jan Ozer Interview, London

In this video, I provide a primer on end-to-end AI based compression. I outline the training, inference and deployment process for AI codecs. This talk is aimed at video codec experts looking to enter the AI codec space.

Intel Innovation Award

April 29, 2024

Talk, Robert Noyce Auditorium, Santa Clara

A Conversation on AI Codecs with Jona Ballé

April 11, 2024

Talk, Online talk, London

AI codecs are replacing traditional block-based compression algorithms developed by standards bodies such as MPEG and ITU with fully AI-based encoder-decoder models. These AI models are trained end-to-end on video data and already outperform traditional codecs. Undoubtedly, all future codecs will be AI-powered.
