Is it possible to be used on bigger models with the same gains?
Yes, you can use it on trillion parameter class AI models.
No idea if the paper has merit but the UI is slop:

- gradient headline

- random vertical scrollbar on mobile

- fingernail cards

Maybe it will be better if you focused more at the research rather than doing such things. Our website it not optimised for mobile users as it has more explanation to do rather than just make visitors feel good. Good luck with the things you are going.
It's a bad smell. As a reader, if the first thing you see is slop, you risk that the rest is also slop and you're wasting your attention.

If UI is not your area or priority, that's ok. Why not just post an Arxiv link?

What is the point of using a outright ancient model like DeepSeek-R1-Distill-1.5B from 2025 based on another ancient model like Qwen2.5-Math-1.5B from 2024, when a much better modern model like LFM3-1.7B exists?
This is a well known tell for using (bad) models to do "research". They always use qwen2.5 and R1, because of the amount of "news" that the two models received. So the models "suggest" those lineages a lot. The local llama sub used to get a few of these a day. That and a zenodo "paper" link are clear tells of badly written stuff.
So this is very good for making local models more accessible, right?
Correct, you will be able to compress, load and talk with any AI models. This algorithm compressed all model weights by upto 3x.
I know a gen AI UI when I see one and this has all of the red flags. Hate to say it but I feel like that compromises the legitimacy of this
If you click through to the home page of the site you are greeting with the perfect genAI tagline:

“We didn't just build an AI voice bot. We engineered a full-stack autonomous AI call center platform with quick call center setup in 3 minutes.”

I compress everything using the Sloot Digital Coding System, only use 50k for all my data!
Is it using full-bit encryption?
I save all the 1’s in the cloud, and the 0’s locally.
Does this compose well with quantization?

Concretely, if you start with, say, a 1.5 or 4 bit quant, then run this, you get something the size of a 0.5 - 1.5 bits without further degradation in model behavior?

I have not read the whole thing, but I'm not sure I understand the benefit of this vs. using an existing e.g. 4 bit quant of the model in question
Yeah sure I could also quantize Qwen 3.8 27B to 0.15 bits/param. Not sure what the point of this exercise is.
If you couldn’t tell, this is LLM generated quackery.

Any claims about throwing away 2/3rds of the model weights (not just quantizing them) and maintaining “near lossless” quality are simply false.

I clicked on the benchmarks page expecting some quality benchmarks but only saw speed benchmarks before I gave up and stopped scrolling.

The claims don’t even make sense. It’s showing “100% GPU resident” for a model of a size that cannot fit into the GPU.

Would be interesting if one could verify any of these claims via the reputation of any of the research participants.

As it stands, everything credits "NeuraCryption Private Limited" which was registered very recently [0][1][2] to an adress that is shared by several other recently registered businesses [scroll down on 0], and this is their very first offering according to the zenodo link they provided [3]

Further, looking at the code, it appears to be a standard quanitizer...

Like...there is no existing method by which one could genuinely compress a tens of GB weights file in to a third the space using only 50mb of RAM.

I’ll probably get downvoted but the site is AI slop filled with math and issues that I guarantee the OP does not understand (based on, for example, the OP claiming a trillion parameter model can be compressed to be under 50 MB with near lossless performance).
Hmm, this claims "functionally lossless" compression over 3x. But where is the starting point? Bf16 of fp16? If so, how much better is it than current quantization techniques?

This should be tested on a medium size dense model. For example Qwen3.8-27B. How much better is it t than quantization to 4.5 bits?
