Could you build this?
Partial The browser UI and query parsing harness are simple, but training and quantizing a tiny 27K-parameter calibrated ML model with confidence estimation requires specialized ML skills.
What it would actually take: The frontend runs ONNX Runtime Web or a custom WASM tensor engine inside the client. The core difficulty is designing, training, and calibrating an ultra-compact ~27k parameter neural model to classify intent and reliably output out-of-distribution / uncertainty metrics without overfitting. This requires machine learning research expertise in model distillation, conformal prediction, and edge-device model optimization.
