Top contestant in the Hutter Prize uses a neural network for compression. So fair to say, LLMs would perform pretty well compared to gzip.

Even ignoring speed per GP, the Hutter Prize's metric includes the size of the decompressor. LLMs would be disqualified for being larger than 1GB.

And the hutter prize disallows GPU's. If you allow use of a powerful GPU, you can do quite a bit better.
