Could you build this?
No Training frontier foundation models on video and intrinsic curiosity requires cutting-edge AI research, novel model architectures, and massive GPU cluster infrastructure.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires novel deep learning architectures for video representation, world models, and reinforcement learning frameworks driven by intrinsic curiosity rewards. Training necessitates petabyte-scale video ingestion and filtering pipelines distributed across large-scale GPU clusters using PyTorch, Megatron-LM, and custom CUDA kernels. This work requires top-tier machine learning research scientists, distributed systems engineers, and millions of dollars in compute infrastructure.
