  "summary": "This paper explores whether large language models (LLMs) can design video coding tools, a highly challenging task due to the intricate algorithmic coupling of tool modifications. In particular, we present an empirical case study on the Planar mode, a long-standing intra prediction tool in video coding standards. Our experiments operate within a generation-and-evaluation loop, with the LLM…",
