Could you build this?

No Orukeet is a research-grade automatic speech recognition (ASR) model implementing fitted, frozen Gabor kernels inside FastConformer/NeMo architectures across 25 languages.

What it would actually take: Requires deep speech ML research expertise, PyTorch/NeMo internals, signal processing (Gabor wavelets), and massive multilingual speech datasets (thousands of hours of audio). Quantizing and building native C++ inference runtimes (sherpa-onnx, transcribe.cpp) requires low-level systems and tensor compiler knowledge.
