๐ Nacrith: a 135M model that out-compresses everything on natural language
What if a tiny LM could compress english text better than _every_ compressor out there โ classical or neural, small or large?
Nacrith pairs SmolLM2-135M with an ensemble of online predictors and high-precision arithmetic coding.
What's inside
The standard LLM+arithmetic coding approach wastes ~75% of CDF precision on large vocabularies. Our CDF-24 fix alone recovers 0.5 bpb. On top: a token N-gram that skips the GPU on predictable tokens, an adaptive bias head, llama.cpp backend (7ร faster than PyTorch), multi-GPU parallel compression, and a binary file format (NC06) โ the first LLM-based binary compressor we know of.
Runs on a GTX 1050 Ti. ~500 MB weights, ~1.2 GB VRAM per worker.

Try it, break it, share your results โ all feedback welcome. โญ on the repo appreciated!
Results across all systems we tested:
- alice29.txt โ 0.918 bpb (โ44% vs CMIX, โ20% vs ts_zip) โ below the 2nd-order Shannon entropy bound
- enwik8 (100 MB) โ 0.9389 bpb (โ8% vs FineZip/LLMZip's 8B model, โ15% vs ts_zip)
- Unseen text โ 0.723 bpb on a doc published after training cutoff โ no memorization, 26% better than FineZip/LLMZip on the same model
