Right now it's more of an idea to keep on the back of your head than anything else.
LLMs are still being created and refined, token dictionaries are also changing. For this to work, you'd need something future proof, to avoid having and ultra efficiently compressed file that can never be opened because part of the decompressor is an extremely big and outdated data file that may or may not disappear from the most acessible sites for being heavy and obsolete.
That being said, if we ever make an "absolute" language model with a "definitive" dictionary or make a cheap and efficient way of grounding future models to make them "backwards compatible", this coould be used to preserve data for longevity. HDs and SSDs don't have the same durability of books, floppy discs can demagnetize, etc.
I think microsoft was working on a "true long term" storage medium using a crystal engraving technique to ensure the data could live for thousands of years and survive the elements. For that extreme case it might be useful.
