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
