Description: ZipSplat introduces a feed-forward model for 3D Gaussian Splatting that predicts Gaussians from compact scene tokens instead of individual pixels. This decouples placement from the pixel grid, allowing for state-of-the-art pose-free novel view synthesis using up to six times fewer Gaussians than pixel-aligned methods while maintaining high quality.
