Could you build this?
No This is frontier ML research involving progressive neural network pruning, cross-scale model distillation, and training speech encoders on over 280,000 hours of audio data.
What it would actually take: Reproducing this requires a large multi-GPU compute cluster (H100/A100s), a proprietary or massive 280k+ hour speech dataset, and deep ML research expertise. The pipeline involves training paired teacher/student models, developing custom layer-interaction behavioral probes, implementing cross-scale intermediate representation alignment, and tuning scheduled policy distillation runs.
