Information Capacity of Generative Video Compression: Quantifying the Rate-Compute Exchange at Identical Quality

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 23, 2026 · UTC

Under the AI Flow framework, communication networks distribute intelligence across devices, edge servers, and clouds, and computation at the receiver becomes a resource that can substitute for transmitted bits. Generative video compression (GVC) embodies this exchange by sending compact tokens with ultra-low bitrate and letting a generative decoder synthesize the video, yet how much bandwidth savings a unit of decoder compute actually achieves has never been quantified. To fill this vacancy, we model reconstruction quality as a two-factor power law in data rate and decoder compute, which fits
