New SemanticZip framework uses LLMs for lossy text compression

Researchers have introduced SemanticZip, a novel framework for lossy text compression that leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) for decompression. This approach focuses on recovering task-relevant semantic meaning rather than exact byte-for-byte reconstruction. The pilot study evaluated six representation methods, finding that structured prose offered the highest recoverability, while a SemanticZip ASCII representation achieved the most significant compression with acceptable semantic recovery.
