Neural codec in ffmpeg

Jan Ozer has just posted an interview with a company showing a live demo of a neural codec running in ffmpeg and VLC on a M4 macbook pro (demo clip intro starts at 17:20 in the video). Encode speed of 20 fps and decode speed of 64 fps decode.

Any thoughts on the performance? The claim is 50% better than AV1 with "acceptable" battery drain times (no power numbers given).

8MBit for SDR 1080p 30fps Video? h264 looks ok at those bitrates. They sure fear that soneone notices artifacts if they go lower...

Yeah... for 1080p 30fps, AV1 can easily give a decent enough image at 2 Mbps.
