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

Abstract:
arXiv:2603.26571v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: 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 retraining required. To enable this, we convert the deterministic rectified-flow ODE of
