Unified Generative Video Compression with Autoregressive and Bidirectional Video Diffusion
The paper introduces UniGVC, a unified generative video codec that supports both low‑delay streaming and high‑quality playback from a single bitstream. It offers two decoding modes: UniGVC‑BI, a bidirectional diffusion model with dense attention for quality‑oriented random‑access decoding, and UniGVC‑AR, a windowed autoregressive diffusion model for low‑delay streaming. Both modes share a hierarchical latent codec that produces ultra‑low‑bitrate conditions, enabling the BI model to act as a teacher for distilling the AR model, while a lightweight conditional decoder further reduces streaming latency.

GVCC: Zero-Shot Video Compression via Codebook-Driven Stochastic Rectified Flow
The paper introduces GVCC, a zero‑shot video compression framework that uses a pretrained generative video model as the decoder. GVCC transforms deterministic rectified‑flow samplers into stochastic processes, enabling the transmission of compressed information through per‑step stochastic innovations. The authors evaluate three GVCC variants—Text‑to‑Video, Image‑to‑Video, and First‑Last‑Frame‑to‑Video—on the UVG dataset, reporting perceptual, fidelity, and temporal metrics without claiming global rate‑distortion gains.

VoRTeC: Taming Foundation Flow for One-step Real time Video Compression
The paper introduces VoRTeC, a video compression framework that leverages a foundational flow model to encode latent video representations compactly and predict their positions along flow trajectories. By integrating multi‑scale priors and avoiding access to flow‑matching network parameters, VoRTeC achieves one‑step decoding with high perceptual fidelity, while maintaining temporal consistency through tail‑frame reuse and prior caching. Experiments show a 58% reduction in bit consumption compared to prior diffusion‑based methods and a decoding speed increase ranging from 3 to 197 times, reaching 13 FPS at 720p and 32 FPS at 480p.

Active Sampling for Ultra-Low-Bit-Rate Video Compression via Conditional Controlled Diffusion
ActDiff-VC is a diffusion-based video compression framework designed for ultra‑low‑bitrate scenarios. It partitions videos into variable‑length segments, transmits keyframes only when necessary, and encodes temporal dynamics with a compact set of tracked point trajectories. Conditioned on these sparse signals, a conditional diffusion decoder reconstructs the remaining frames, achieving significant bitrate reductions and perceptual quality gains compared to strong learned codecs.

Rethinking Generative Image Compression at Extremely Low Bitrates
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.
