I compress my meals by putting them into a blender to liquify them before consumption!
Remember that Sloot thing from late 90s?
That’s … redefining the word I would think.
All fun and games until you post a story about how clumsy your dad was and now all your photos are updated to show him as just a giant thumb...with thumbs for arms, and legs, and hands and feet, and fingers and toes. Just all thumbs, all the way down. Like tripping on acid with Rita Repulsa.
Is it a compression when you need presumably gigabites of a model to reconstruct the data?
It's basically the same as saying I can shatter compressions records by hashing the thing and using a rainbow table to decompress it.
A roughly 340MB model at fp16 is all it takes to beat xz and zstd by 2x compression on text
The fuuuucking annoying part is that these weight trained models would be perfect for translation models, compression, etc. An llm is already kind of a really efficient lossy compressor but you could actually make it lossless and an actual compressor if used properly. But instead people are literally telling llms to translate instead of training models that are for translating. The technology isnt the problem itself, its the industry and capitalism.
There are not many places where 95% compression of UTF-8 plain text could outweigh needing a 30GB model in memory and a significant fraction of current LLM inference cost to decompress it − and good luck convincing librarians to adopt it.
I know this is a joke but honestly if an engineer figured out how to make a Jpeg 600 bytes it would be impressive (obviously don't destroy the original even if all worked right.)
something something information theory.
Lossy compression, don't mind.
