Could you build this?
No Implementing bounded SSD streaming for massive quantized LLM weights on Apple Silicon via MLX requires advanced GPU architecture understanding and low-level ML systems engineering.
What it would actually take: Requires deep familiarity with Apple's Metal Performance Shaders (MPS), MLX framework internals, and unified memory architecture. The implementation needs custom C++/Metal memory paging systems to read quantized FP4/FP8 expert tensors from fast SSD storage just-in-time for token computation. Overcoming bandwidth limits while maintaining acceptable tokens-per-second on limited RAM requires novel caching and prefetching algorithms.
