Could you build this?

Partial Creating a local runner with an API wrapper is vibe-codeable, but running low-RAM, high-performance typed decision models locally on Apple Silicon requires Metal/MPS optimization and ML systems tuning.

What it would actually take: The project requires an Apple Silicon execution runtime leveraging Metal Performance Shaders (MPS) or MLX/llama.cpp-style quantization and memory-mapped model weights. The tricky part is optimizing memory footprint while maintaining fast inference latency and strictly enforcing schema/typed outputs via grammars (e.g., GBNF or outlines). It requires engineers familiar with local LLM runtimes, Metal compute kernels, and structured generation engines.
