Could you build this?
Partial The routing logic and web service are manageable, but gathering empirical latency/throughput profiles on specific hardware (RTX 5090) and designing fail-closed routing policies requires systems benchmarking expertise.
What it would actually take: Requires an LLM proxy gateway (written in Go or Rust) that ingests real-time hardware telemetry and latency profiles from dedicated GPU testbeds running inference engines (e.g., vLLM or TensorRT-LLM). The hard part is implementing sub-millisecond fail-closed routing algorithms and continuous active probing under dynamic GPU load conditions.
