Could you build this?
No Developing zero-dependency, sub-millisecond AI inference engines on bare metal demands low-level systems programming, custom memory allocators, manual SIMD/tensor intrinsics, and deep compiler/architecture knowledge.
What it would actually take: This requires implementing tensor math, quantization routines (FP16, INT8/INT4), and transformer layer execution from scratch in pure C, Rust, or assembly without relying on BLAS or LibTorch. Developers must hand-tune cache locality, thread pools, and CPU vector extensions (AVX-512, AMX, ARM NEON). This necessitates expert-level systems programming and high-performance computing (HPC) engineering skills.

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