Could you build this?

No Developing a neural block compressor requires specialized machine learning research in learned entropy estimation, neural rate-distortion optimization, and custom low-level codecs.

What it would actually take: The architecture involves deep learning models (autoencoders or autoregressive neural networks) trained on block datasets using PyTorch or JAX, coupled with custom C++/CUDA implementations of entropy coders such as asymmetric numeral systems (ANS). The core challenge is achieving competitive compression ratios and real-time decompression throughput without excessive inference overhead, requiring advanced information theory and systems optimization expertise.
