Microsoft releases open‑source ML Video Codec (MLVC) to the community

Microsoft announced the open‑source availability of its machine‑learning‑driven video codec, MLVC. The codec is designed to improve compression efficiency using neural networks. The release includes source code, documentation, and build instructions. It targets developers working on Linux and other open‑source platforms. Microsoft invites community contributions to enhance performance and features. The move reflects a broader push toward open‑source collaboration in AI‑related tools. Early benchmarks suggest potential gains over traditional codecs. The project will be hosted on a public repository for ongoing development.
