The paper introduces RAE-CoD, a diffusion-based compression method that operates in a representation autoencoder space to preserve recognizable content even at extremely low bitrates. It addresses the problem of semantic collapse observed in existing codecs when the bitrate approaches zero, showing that reconstruction losses conflict with semantic objectives and that VAE diffusion models lose efficiency in preserving semantics. Experiments on MSCOCO-30K demonstrate that RAE-CoD outperforms competitors, reducing VFM feature MSE and Fréchet Distance ratios by at least 25.7% and 69.1% at 0.001–0.008 bpp while maintaining stable recognizability and quality.

Large language model (LLM)-based lossless image compression methods typically represent pixel data through the native text interface of a pretrained model, converting pixel values into token sequences that the LLM processes through its vocabulary head. This design shows that pretrained language models can provide probability estimates for image coding, but it also couples compression to tokenizer behavior, vocabulary-specific numeric tokens, and model-family-specific adaptation.

arXiv:2608. 12239v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: 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.
WaveLLM introduces a wavelet-domain entropy model that leverages large language models for lossless image compression. By decomposing images into multi-level wavelet subbands, it transforms heterogeneous prediction tasks into structured, statistically homogeneous subproblems, enabling more effective autoregressive probability estimation. Using a dedicated numerical interface and task-adaptive prompting, WaveLLM, built on Llama‑3.2‑3B with LoRA, achieves state‑of‑the‑art bpsp results on Kodak, CLIC.pro, and DIV2K, outperforming both PixelCNN‑based codecs and recent LLM‑based compressors.
