+ # ZipPlus2048 Model Card
6
+ **A pre-trained 2-layer GRU model for neural file compression. Compress any file into a PNG image using a neural network and extract it back.**
7
+ This is a pre-trained ByteGRU model for [Zip+](https://github.com/CompactAIOfficial/ZipPlus) - use this instead of training your own.
8
+
9
+ ## What is this
10
+ This model compresses any file into a PNG image using a neural network (GRU + range coding) and extracts it back. The compressed files look like weird colorful static - perfect for confusing anyone who peeks at your folder.
11
+ ```
12
+ file.txt → [ByteGRU + Range Coding] → file.txt.zpng.png → [ByteGRU + Range Coding] → file.txt
13
+ ```
14
+ **The PNG contains a special `ZPNG` magic header**, so random images won't decompress. Your cat photos are safe. Mostly.
15
+
16
+ ## Model Details
17
+ - **Architecture**: 2-layer GRU over byte embeddings
18
+ - **Embedding dim**: 64 → Hidden dim: 256
19
+ - **Trained on**: A variety of file types
20
+ - **Entropy coding**: Range coding via Constriction
21
+ - **Output format**: PNG where payload lives in RGB pixel bytes
22
+ - **Magic header**: `ZPNG` (first 4 bytes)
23
+ -
24
+ ## Requirements
25
+ - Python 3.10+
26
+ - PyTorch
27
+ - Constriction (`pip install constriction`)
28
+ - Pillow
29
+ - numpy
30
+ ```bash
31
+ pip install torch constriction pillow numpy
32
+ ```
33
+ ## Quick Start
34
+
35
+ ### Compress a file
36
+
37
+ ```bash
38
+ python inference.py compress myfile.txt -o myfile.zpng.png -m model.pt
39
+ ```
40
+ ### Decompress
41
+
42
+ ```bash
43
+ python inference.py decompress myfile.zpng.png -o restored.txt -m model.pt
44
+ ```
45
+ Done. Your file is back. Hopefully.
46
+
47
+ ## Interactive Menu
48
+
49
+ Just run `python compressor.py -m model.pt` for the menu. It's vaguely intuitive if you squint.
50
+
51
+ ## Performance
52
+
53
+ Compression ratio varies. Text files compress okay. Binary files? Less okay. Random data? It might actually grow. That's the fun part.
54
+
55
+ ## Warnings
56
+
57
+ - **Don't lose this model**. Without the model file, your `.zpng.png` files are colorful but useless.
58
+ - **Lossiness is possible**. If the compression produces artifacts, restored files may differ. Check with checksums.
59
+ - **GPU recommended**. CPU inference is tolerable.
