The BASE MiniMax Image VAE achieves lower pixel reconstruction error and DeltaE, indicating closer numerical agreement with the original input.The HDR VAE demonstrates a different reconstruction profile:<ul><li>increased gradient energy</li><li>increased high-frequency energy</li><li>higher structural similarity</li><li>stronger saturation changes</li><li>enhancement-oriented reconstruction behavior</li></ul>The HDR VAE behaves as an enhancement-oriented reconstruction operator rather than a pixel-preservation model, producing measurable changes to image characteristics during reconstruction.
