Reminded me of pi filesystem (https://github.com/philipl/pifs), with enough digits of pi precalculated you might be able to do a decent compression program. The trick is in the amount of reasonable digits for that, if it’s smaller or bigger than that trained LLM.

I suspect that the length of the offset of your input data in pi is equal to the length of the input data itself, plus or minus a few bytes at most, regardless of the size of the input data.

That is: no compression, but it won't make things worse either.

Unless the input data is the digits of pi, obviously, or the result of some computation involving pi.
