Could you build this?

Partial Building the Hugging Face Space frontend and inference wrappers is easy, but achieving calibrated single-pass typed decisions from open LLMs requires novel logit-level schema guidance or calibration techniques.

What it would actually take: The core technique requires modifying LLM generation internals via custom logits processors (e.g., using Outlines, Guidance, or vLLM constrained decoding) to extract discrete probabilities and calibrate confidence intervals in a single forward pass without sequential auto-regressive generation. It requires deep knowledge of token distribution mechanics, temperature scaling calibration algorithms, and vLLM/Hugging Face lower-level inference APIs.
