Could you build this?
Partial The web leaderboard, database, and CLI wrapper can be vibe coded easily, but building a multi-platform hardware benchmark tool with cryptographically signed hardware profiling across Apple Metal, Vulkan, and BLAS runtimes requires deep systems knowledge.
What it would actually take: The stack involves a Python/C++ CLI harness interacting directly with low-level local LLM inference engines (like llama.cpp or custom C bindings) to measure token prefill and decode speeds, coupled with hardware detection utilities (Metal, Vulkan, CUDA). The client signs benchmark telemetry with a local keypair before pushing to a web backend (PostgreSQL + Next.js). The challenging part is accurate, tamper-resistant GPU/NPU performance profiling and runtime memory management across varied operating systems.
