Maybe I missed it in the post, but is this an open source codec or are they just comparing themselves to open source codecs?

Exactly. Surprised more people are not asking this.

I'm guessing they can't really OS their ML pipeline, or training data... so essentially they'd just be releasing the pre-trained ML model and the codec framework?

Perhaps legal / privacy issues with that? Not sure.

I can't see why they would... it would give them a huge competitive advantage on "Internet 3.0" which is live streaming and Zoom-like video conferences.
