Another encoder for AV1, but not only. It has many features including multithreading, which is one of the biggest problems of AV1. It looks very interesting:

By the way, av1an also uses an algorithm developed by Netflix. It is already included in ffmpeg, but you have to enable it.

Does anyone know and use these projects?
I read some of the information, but I could not find anything that said that:

was OpenSource. Usually when ffmpeg requires enabling something, it means that it is not open.
Vmaf: it is a type of license (still Open) called: BSD + patent:
https://github.com/Netflix/vmaf/blob/master/LICENSE
Instead Av1an is completely Open: GPL 3:
https://github.com/master-of-zen/Av1an/blob/master/LICENSE.md
It would be good to have a new encoder for AV1, because the standard is quite slow. I don't think it's easy to implement it, though?
EDIT:
It seems that the ffmpeg provided by Arch linux already implements vmaf.
