## Summary

Infini-AI-Lab introduces CompressionBench, a benchmark asking whether coding agents can make AI models themselves smaller. The post frames this against power constraints from voters opposing new data centers over power bills, and shortages of HBM and DRAM memory. The linked arXiv paper, 2611.06858, is the source for the benchmark's details.

## Post

AI is hitting two walls at once: power and memory.

Voters just pushed back on new data centers over power bills, and HBM and DRAM are in short supply.

Our question: can coding agents make the models themselves smaller?
