Within 10% of gzip: What GN’s Semantic Compression Teaches Us
rust
dev.to
When we first started building, the goal was never to make another gzip clone. Generic compression already does that job incredibly well. The real question was different: What happens if the compressor understands the shape of the data before it ever starts packing bytes? That question led us from the original JavaScript prototype into Glasik Core, a Rust implementation focused on semantic tokenization, rolling vocabulary windows, and domain-aware preprocessing for message and agent streams.
