wants to flow so can we just run Huffman coding so the answer is no because to do that we need to build a tree that's as big as the number of possible data points but these are we're working with large images here so that's that's exponential in the dimension so that's not tractable so we we need to harness the model structure we actually we actually have to make use of the fact that this is a flow model so one naive attempt to do this maybe this just the most intuitive thing is to take the latent that you get out of the
