Definition

ZIP is a widely-supported compression format used for packaging smaller models, code repositories, and datasets in machine learning projects.

How It Works

ZIP combines multiple files into a single archive with individual file compression. It supports various compression algorithms and encryption for sensitive data.

The format allows selective extraction of files without decompressing the entire archive.

Why It Matters

ZIP's universal support makes it ideal for sharing models with non-technical users. Its built-in Windows and macOS support requires no additional software.

Many ML tutorials and courses distribute materials as ZIP files for maximum accessibility.
