Sony patent describes AI predicting next game frame before GPU finishes rendering

Sony has filed a patent describing an AI system that predicts the next game frame before the GPU finishes rendering it, according to TechSpot as cited by IT. The system uses a jointly trained codec to convert rendered frames into compact embeddings, and runs in parallel with the graphics pipeline to reduce stutter without the added latency of frame generation.

Whether it works in practice depends on whether the AI can produce accurate frames quickly enough to fill gaps when rendering slows.
