InterDigital's acquisition of AI startup Deep Render is a seismic shift for video technology. Deep Render's AI-native compression is reportedly up to 5 times (5x) more efficient than the widely-used HEVC/H.265 standard, offering a step-change beyond decades of traditional codec development. Considering video content accounts for over 80% of internet traffic, this generative AI breakthrough dramatically reduces bandwidth and storage costs for major streaming platforms and telcos globally. The move signals a new era where AI models, not fixed algorithms, will define video standards for 6G and the metaverse.
