arXiv:2606. 07577v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Audio-visual large language models (LLMs) hold strong promise for long-form video understanding, yet their long-video inference is fundamentally limited by the linear growth of video tokens and key-value (KV) caches.

The paper investigates whether large language models (LLMs) can design video coding tools, focusing on the Planar mode used in video coding standards. Using a generation-and-evaluation loop, the LLM generates new Planar predictors, which are then tested in the Fraunhofer Versatile Video Encoder (VVenC) and the Enhanced Compression Model (ECM). Results show that the LLM-generated mode can outperform the conventional Planar mode, achieving a 0.18% bitrate saving with a 0.4% complexity increase, and that similar gains are possible when integrating the new predictor into ECM under low‑resolution settings.

The paper introduces the "Compression Trinity," a unified framework that jointly applies sparsity, quantization, and low‑rank approximations to compress large language models. It presents several methods—MKOR, SLoPe, OPTIMA, PATCH, and SLiM—that leverage these three pillars to accelerate training, reduce memory bandwidth, and recover accuracy, achieving significant speedups and accuracy gains over existing techniques. The results demonstrate that combining all three compression strategies is essential for efficient, scalable, high‑performance LLM deployment.

The paper introduces MIRC, an overfitted image codec that quantizes and entropy‑codes all components—including latents, synthesis network, and entropy models—within a single end‑to‑end rate‑distortion framework inspired by NVRC. It adds a multi‑scale representation with cross‑stage parameter sharing to capture cross‑scale redundancy, yielding a 10.5 % BD‑rate saving over VVC on the CLIC2020 professional set. MIRC offers multiple configurations ranging from 1.2 to 2.9 kMAC per pixel, allowing decoding complexity to be tuned to deployment needs.

The paper introduces MIRC, an overfitted image codec that quantizes all components—including latents, synthesis network, and entropy models—within a single rate‑distortion objective, following the neural video representation codec NVRC. It adds a multi‑scale representation with cross‑stage parameter sharing to capture cross‑scale redundancy, achieving a 10.5% BD‑rate saving over VVC on the CLIC2020 professional validation set. MIRC also offers configurable decoding complexity ranging from 1.2 to 2.9 kMAC per pixel, allowing deployment to match specific resource budgets.

Scalable Neural Video Representation Compression (S-NVRC) introduces a scalable implicit neural representation (INR) video codec that supports fine-grained bitrate and decoding‑complexity scalability from a single embedded bitstream. It uses a coarse‑to‑fine prefix for feature grids and a nested prefix for network layers, enabling a wide range of operating points while maintaining a single encoding. On the UVG dataset, S‑NVRC outperforms SHM 12.4 and multi‑layer VTM‑20.0 by 43.7 % and 5.6 % in BD‑rate, respectively, and offers flexible complexity scalability.

Use this plain-text version for the arXiv abstract field: Learned image compression (LIC) models achieve strong rate-distortion performance but are hindered by high computational complexity and encoding-decoding mismatches across heterogeneous hardware platforms. Uniform fixed-precision quantization alleviates these issues but suffers severe quality degradation at low bit widths because it ignores differences in the quantization sensitivities of individual layers.
Prohibitive computational and environmental costs impede the scalable deployment of Large Language Models (LLMs). Traditional compression techniques (sparsity, quantization, low-rank approximations) a...
