Could you build this?

No Training or fine-tuning an open-weight 4B base model for specialized deterministic decision-making requires substantial GPU compute, proprietary datasets, and machine learning research expertise.

What it would actually take: PyTorch, Hugging Face Transformers, DeepSpeed/vLLM, and massive compute clusters (e.g., A100/H100 GPUs). The hard parts are curating/synthesizing the alignment dataset for zero-text decision outputs, designing custom heads or loss functions, and running distributed fine-tuning runs. Requires specialized AI/ML research expertise and high-budget GPU infrastructure.
