While taking the fast.ai course, I was learning about Variational Autoencoders (VAE) and began to wonder:

Is it possible to represent the latent space as an image, and then reconstruct the original image from that representation?

Well, here's the answer.

I feel like it’s only a matter of time before we get AI-enabled image formats to supersede AVIF and WEBP.

Hopefully we can get some meaningful wins on mobile web performance.
