Could you build this?
No Designing custom silicon (MPUs/ASICs) and writing RTL/Verilog to burn neural networks onto FPGAs and silicon chips requires specialized hardware and electrical engineering that vibe coding cannot perform.
What it would actually take: Building this requires hardware description languages (Verilog, VHDL, or Chisel) to architect systolic arrays, compute-in-memory (CIM) or on-chip SRAM memory layouts, and high-bandwidth interconnects optimized specifically for transformer weights. It requires EDA tools (Synopsys, Cadence) for simulation, physical synthesis, and tape-out (e.g., TSMC shuttles), alongside specialized semiconductor design, FPGA timing closure, and computer architecture engineering teams.
