2. Commits along the branch rkuester/feat-compression-next are queued, so to speak, for submission as PRs. Looking at this branch might give context for the open PR in feat-compression, see above. Be aware—this branch is rebased often.
3. The branch rkuester/compress-testing typically contains the final result once all PRs for the model compression feature are merged. This is the Oort cloud from which commits along feat-compression-next, which turn into PRs from feat-compression, are formed.
