Could you build this?
Partial The client application and basic VLM inference wrappers are easy to write, but extracting direct token log-probabilities and calibrated visual judgments from frozen local VLMs requires specific understanding of model logits, tensor extraction, and local GPU inference runtimes.
What it would actually take: The core tool relies on Python, PyTorch, Hugging Face Transformers, or vLLM/llama.cpp to expose raw logit probabilities of token generations against specific prompt templates. The hard part is logit normalization, probability calibration over constrained vocabulary spaces (e.g., boolean/numeric tokens), and managing local GPU/Apple Silicon memory efficiency. It requires machine learning systems familiarity with model internals beyond standard high-level text generation APIs.
