Could you build this?

No Replicating high-end reasoning or proprietary model behaviors (likely referring to deep research models or reasoning systems) on consumer 24GB VRAM hardware requires specialized deep learning optimization, quantizations, and model distillation expertise. Prompting an AI cannot solve the memory and compute architecture challenges of running massive models locally.

What it would actually take: Requires custom model fine-tuning, aggressive 4-bit/3-bit quantization (AWQ, EXL2, or GGUF), and optimizing inference engines (vLLM, llama.cpp, or TensorRT-LLM) to fit execution within 24GB VRAM. Needs deep expertise in machine learning systems, CUDA kernels, and memory-bandwidth-bound inference optimization.
