Could you build this?

Partial A basic LLM router with fallback and cost tracking is easily vibe-coded, but real-time dynamic latency/price arbitrage across global inference endpoints with predictive cache awareness requires low-latency distributed infrastructure.

What it would actually take: The architecture requires an ultra-low-latency reverse proxy (written in Rust or Go) running on global edge nodes (e.g., Cloudflare Workers or Fly.io) to avoid adding meaningful TTFT overhead. It needs real-time streaming telemetry, adaptive multi-armed bandit or linear programming algorithms to score providers on cost, error rate, and provider-specific prompt-cache hit likelihood, plus automatic schema normalization across 10+ LLM APIs.
