Could you build this?
Partial Creating a small plugin or script for an agent harness is straightforward, but achieving extreme token compression and massive TPS improvements relies on sophisticated prompt distillation, speculative decoding, or token cache tricks.
What it would actually take: This project likely implements an aggressive prompt/context optimization strategy (e.g., custom token stripping, semantic prefix reuse, or speculative tool calling) for an agent framework. Building a production version requires deep profiling of model tokenizers, inference server endpoints (vLLM/llama.cpp), and rigorous benchmarking to ensure response fidelity does not collapse under extreme token compression.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a model & infra tool for Fintech yet.
