Today's Tech News: Notable or Not?

https://techxplore.com/news/2025-05-algorithm-based-llms-lossless-compression.html "if large language models such as underpins ChatGPT understand data well, then receiving device does not need to receive but can guess what we plan to write, allowing significantly better data compression... compresses: texts >2X better  zip giles, compresses images and audios 2X better than classical algorithms like JPEG-2000 for images, and video slightly less than two times better... so overall, when you transmit data, you can go approximately 2X faster"

https://techxplore.com/news/2023-10-ai-png-flac-compression.html "DeepMind's large language model Chinchilla 70B lossless compression rates: images compressed to 43.4% and audio data reduced to 16.4% of original size... dataset size provides a hard limit on model size in terms of compression performance... upper limits to advantages achieved with large language model compressors the larger their dataset is... classical compressors like gzip aren't going away anytime soon since their compression vs. speed and size trade-off is currently far better than anything else"
