Selective Decoding — smart decode triggering for streaming video.
For 1000+ cameras, we can't decode every frame. The JEPA predictor runs continuously
producing embeddings, but the MoE decoder is only invoked when a semantic shift
is detected — i.e., when something meaningfully changes in the scene.
This reduces decoding operations by ~2.85x for stationary scenes while never
missing important events.
Algorithm:
1. Maintain a running embedding for each camera stream
2. Compare new frame embedding with previous using cosine similarity
3. If similarity < threshold → semantic shift → trigger decode
4. Optionally: agglomerative clustering for temporal segmentation
