Forgive me, is that in encoding or decoding? And size of library required to decode it? ( Edit: Looks like answered below )

It was only an hour ago I was looking at some pictures encoded with VVC / H.266 reference encoder, it was better than BPG / HEVC, but this HiFiC still beats it by quite a bit.

This whole thing blows up my mind on limitation I thought we had on image compression.

May be I should take back my words on JPEG XL is the future. This seems revolutionary.
