Could you build this?
No Porting a 1.5B speech foundation model to Apple Silicon MLX requires deep expertise in ML architectures, audio DSP, quantization, and MLX Metal kernel implementations.
What it would actually take: Requires deep understanding of the original model's PyTorch/CUDA architecture (neural audio codecs, diffusion/autoregressive speech layers), re-implementing custom audio operators and attention layers in Apple's MLX framework, porting/transposing weights, and profiling Metal GPU memory bandwidth and unified memory allocations.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a model & infra tool for Fintech yet.
