Researchers have developed RDVQ, a novel framework for optimizing generative image compression. This approach uses a differentiable relaxation of the codebook distribution to enable end-to-end rate-distortion optimization, allowing the entropy loss to directly influence the latent prior. RDVQ also incorporates an autoregressive entropy model for precise modeling and rate control, achieving significant bitrate reductions and competitive perceptual quality with a lightweight architecture.
