I believe the 400GB is the total amount for the 65000 different game replays

@wfunction: yes, TorchCraft includes a serializer that compresses the useful game state into a relatively small struct. That is then further compressed with other tricks and zstd.
Oh but how does that work? That's ~6 MB per game which sounds like just a list of actions rather than precomputed data per frame. Is it compressed somehow?
"The full dataset after compression is 365 GB, 1535 million frames, and 496 million player actions." - Yes
