What Is SOGS, Anyways?

SOGS compression keeps coming up here as a go-to method for reducing Gaussian Splatting model sizes. I put together a deep dive into how SOGS actually works under the hood, with some practical insights on how it can be used in production.

The article stays fairly high-level, but I'm happy to dive into specifics in the comments. I learned quite a bit from implementing my own version of SOGS compression.
