Because of Gianni's great post, I've decided to go full throttle on rewriting and finally publishing the JXL vs AVIF post after deciding to partially shelve it last year.
This should be especially interesting looking at the differences between my testing and Gianni's.

Me and a bunch of friends (mainly Clybius and Yiss/Uranite), after I was constantly saying daala was a great low complexity visual metric that should be added back to AV1 encoders, we decided to implement it into yet another svt-av1 encoder fork: https://github.com/Uranite/svt-av1-tritium#from-svt-av1-hdr-...
It has been showing great performance overall and is quite nice. It can work on CDEF, like it did in aomenc-av1 back in 2018/early 2019. It does so very well.
We've also implemented deeper controls, but that is still experimental.
Thank you so much for your work on daala stuff, as it's been one of my many inspirations in the field.
FLAC is extremely good at compression audio, has very fast encode and uber fast decode. It also doesn't use zlib...
