Could you build this?
No Training a 12-billion-parameter foundation model natively across text, vision, and audio without separate encoders requires frontier ML research and millions of dollars in compute.
What it would actually take: Creating this model demands custom deep learning architectures implemented in JAX/PyTorch, massive multimodal tokenized datasets, specialized compute clusters with thousands of TPUs/GPUs, and advanced training stability techniques to unify audio, image, and text representations into a single decoder.
