Astra is a very strong model!
I was the most surprised by its solution in Kolmogorov Audio Compression: Instead of writing a compression algorithm, Astra figured out that we had synthesized the audio programmatically and simply reverse engineered the code for it. This way, it was able to compress 600MB+ of audio data into 20KB
