Doesn't this fit the Hutter Prize conditions that is mentioned in other comment here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46595109

It's too slow for that. The Hutter prize is CPU only so neural network solutions (which are the most interesting IMO) are effectively excluded. You need to generate 11 574 characters per second on the CPU only for decompression, and the compression time also counts and has to be below 24 hours in total.
