Could you build this?
Partial Basic semantic search on code using embeddings is standard, but building a production-ready, ultra-fast CLI grep replacement powered by a custom embedding or model engine requires custom indexing and fast native execution.
What it would actually take: Requires a Rust CLI integrating tree-sitter for AST parsing, an embedded vector store or HNSW index (such as usearch), and local embedding model execution via ONNX Runtime or candle. The hard part is achieving grep-like latencies on large codebases while maintaining semantic accuracy without excessive RAM or indexing delays. Expertise in compiler parsing, vector index quantization, and native performance optimization is needed.
