An Nvidia GPU is necessary for fast operation.

Compression is getting so heavy that soon it isn't possible to perform it on normal hardware. AV1 already proved that, the future audio/video codecs will be even heavier.

Decompression is also getting heavier. Poor mobile devices.

I'm starting to appreciate well written algorithms which don't require massive computing power. JPEG XL is a good example. It has the same compression ratio as AVIF, but requires less processing power.

If I'm understanding the specs correctly, it is basically a LLM, but for audio. So it requires some serious power to encode it, because it is using the latest AI hype to achieve the result.

Clearly we need a generic LLM PCIe card!
