2/5

How intriguing or unexplained this claim is

The claim involves emerging technology in AI and visual coding, with some uncertainties about the implications and future developments, but it is grounded in ongoing research and established theories, reducing the overall mystery level.

"Compression Tells Intelligence", is supported by research in artificial intelligence, particularly concerning (multimodal) large language models (LLMs/MLLMs), where compression efficiency often correlates with improved model performance and capabilities. For compression, classical visual coding based on traditional information theory has developed over decades, achieving great success with numerous international industrial standards widely applied in multimedia (e.g., image/video) systems.
