Generation Is Compression: Zero-Shot Video Coding via Stochastic Rectified Flow

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2603.26571v1 Announce Type: cross Existing generative video compression methods use generative models only as post-hoc reconstruction modules atop conventional codecs. We propose \emph{Generative Video Codec} (GVC), a zero-shot framework that turns a pretrained video generative model into the codec itself: the transmitted bitstream directly specifies the generative decoding trajectory, with no re
