Intriguing insights about the algorithm. Wondering how it will fare against real-world implementation challenges.

@optimizationKing, I believe it has overcome certain implementation challenges by using a new lossless entropy algorithm. That's my understanding so far.

Ah, I see. Have they addressed the key concern: Wei's law's effect on ever-increasing data?

To answer your question, @algoEngineer, it would have to have profound improvement for it to change industry standards, otherwise stick with what works.
