Comment on Short Message Compression Using LLMs

Comments

It’s a very clever idea.

I could see it becoming very useful if on device LLM becomes a thing. That might allow storing a lot of original sources for not much additional data. We might be able to get an on device chat bot sending you to a copy of Wikipedia/reference material all stored on device and working fully offline.

If mobile phone conversations over the last 2 decades have taught me anything it's that people talk about anything but battery life and ultimately the crowd ends up doing "whatever means I don't have to put it on the charger twice a day". Especially when the base iPhone SE already has enough storage to fit more text than one could read in their life anyways.

If you like that idea, give Kiwix a try! Best ~60 GB I have stored on my phone :) And it comes in handy more often than initially expected.
