GPU are faster with less energy than cpu in intensive compression.

is this included now or in future?

We have plans, but no resources currently. Of course, offloading weight-lifting to GPU would be nice, but our approach is making the resulting output backwards compatible (i.e. some dense-dependent parts will be executed on CPU)
