Could you build this?

Partial The interactive Pong comparison frontend and LLM proxy are trivial to vibe-code, but developing the low-latency typed-decision model ('Jev') capable of sub-250ms latency requires custom model training and optimized inference infrastructure.

What it would actually take: The frontend is a simple Next.js game canvas using WebSocket/SSE to dispatch game state to backend LLM gateways. The hard part is training, quantizing, and deploying the proprietary fast-inference model ('Jev') designed specifically for real-time structured decisions with sub-250ms p95 latencies, requiring ML systems engineering and custom hardware serving (e.g., TensorRT-LLM/vLLM).
