In previous episodes of this long-running series looking at the world of high-quality audio, at every point we’ve stayed in the real world of physical audio hardware. From the human ear to the ...

People store large quantities of data in their electronic devices and transfer some of this data to others, whether for professional or personal reasons. Data compression methods are thus of the ...

Lossless data compression is an important tool for reducing the storage requirements of the world's ever-growing data sets. Yann Collet developed the LZ4 algorithm and designed the Zstandard (or Zstd) ...

Data compression is a fundamental technology that enables efficient storage and transmission of information. However, traditional compression methods are approaching their theoretical limits after 80 ...

If Google’s AI researchers had a sense of humor, they would have called TurboQuant, the new, ultra-efficient AI memory compression algorithm announced Tuesday, “Pied Piper” — or, at least that’s what ...

AI has a growing memory problem. Google thinks it's found the answer, and it doesn't require more or better hardware. Originally detailed in an April 2025 paper, TurboQuant is an advanced compression ...

This voice experience is generated by AI. Learn more. This voice experience is generated by AI. Learn more. I have written in March about Google’s TurboQuant for compressing data in memory for AI ...

Efficient data compression and transmission are crucial in space missions due to restricted resources, such as bandwidth and storage capacity. This requires efficient data-compression methods that ...

In a nutshell: Stable Diffusion is a phenomenal example of how much a picture is worth more than a thousand words. In fact, by cutting the image-generation text prompt altogether, the visual AI could ...

Deep Render, a startup developing AI-powered tech to compress videos on the web, today announced that it raised $9 million in a Series A funding round led by IP Group and Pentech Ventures. A source ...
