As the successor to AV1, AV2 is positioned as an open-source, royalty-free video coding standard. Originally scheduled for release by the end of 2025, multiple signs now indicate that it will officially debut next week. Led by the Alliance for Open Media (AOMedia), the standard aims to enhance compression efficiency and support new scenarios such as AR/VR and multi-program split-screen transmission. Tests show that AV2 reduces bitrates by approximately 30% compared to AV1 while maintaining image quality, without heavily relying on AI technologies. The performance improvements are primarily achieved through algorithmic optimizations and innovative approaches.
