Could you build this?

No Writing custom RTX-optimized C++ and CUDA kernels for deep learning inference requires specialized systems programming, GPU memory hierarchy optimization, and low-level TensorRT/CUDA expertise.

What it would actually take: The stack involves C++20, CUDA, CUTLASS, and NVIDIA cuBLAS/TensorRT APIs. The hard part is optimizing GEMM/attention kernels for specific Blackwell/Ada Lovelace architectures, manual KV cache memory layout tuning, and achieving zero-copy structured output constraints without standard heavy runtime overheads.
