Wildly neat work from @khronos.org doing a variety of video codecs in compute shaders. Big variety of interesting formats here, many "mezzanine" compression, high quality semi-realtime for av production. Example: Samsung APV.

Learn how FFmpeg uses Vulkan Compute shaders to accelerate professional codec workflows — FFv1, ProRes, ProRes RAW, APV and more — on any Vulkan-capable GPU, with no fixed-function hardware required.

The Khronos Group is aiming to standardize Gaussian splatting by proposing a release candidate for an integration into the widely adopted glTF 3D format:
The Khronos Group announces a release candidate for the KHR_gaussian_splatting baseline extension. This extension enables storing 3D Gaussian splats in glTF 2.0, the most widely adopted 3D asset delivery format.
