Independently of this work, we have models which are competitive with HEVC while being significantly smaller (this is from previous work). They will not look nearly as good as what you see in the website demo, but they're still better. I don't have any such model handy but perhaps it's 10x-20x smaller. We don't claim that this (or even the previous work) is the way to go forward for images, but we hope to incentivize more researchers to look in this direction so that we can figure out how to deploy these kinds of methods since the results they produce are very compelling.
