Abstract: Image codecs are typically optimized to trade-off between bitrate and distortion metrics. At low bitrates, they often result in compression artefacts. To solve this problem, we leverage the ...

Abstract: Image compression is a continuously evolving field, driven by the need for optimizing storage and transmission while maintaining image fidelity. This work explores a hybrid compression ...

Ideogram 4 is Ideogram's first open-weight text-to-image model. It is a state-of-the-art foundation model trained from scratch — not a fine-tune of any existing model. It introduces a new structured ...
