At the Exploit conference, Gareth demoed VidAIo's AI video compression, claiming files half the size of AWS's compression output.
The pitch: it could literally cut Netflix's $1B/year streaming bill in half. The solution is powered by Bittensor, with the full talk available online.
If the claims hold up under independent testing, it's a notable case of AI codecs attacking commercial streaming costs — verification still pending.
