Could you build this?
No Operating a globally distributed inference delivery network across heterogeneous hardware requires tens of millions in compute capital and low-level systems engineering.
What it would actually take: Building an inference delivery network requires a custom anycast routing mesh, global load balancers with millisecond failover, and multi-cloud Kubernetes or Slurm clusters. The serving layer depends on highly optimized inference runtimes (vLLM, TensorRT-LLM) customized across NVIDIA, AMD (ROCm), and TPU architectures. This requires specialized distributed systems engineers, kernel optimization experts, and high-volume GPU colocation contracts.
