Could you build this?

No Prism is a high-throughput, low-latency LLM inference provider serving models like DeepSeek and Qwen at scale. Operating custom inference infrastructure requires deep GPU kernel optimization, distributed serving systems (e.g., vLLM/TensorRT-LLM/SGLang modifications), and massive hardware resources.

What it would actually take: A production LLM inference engine requires a distributed cluster of high-end GPUs (e.g. H100s/B200s) orchestrated via Kubernetes/Slurm. The serving stack relies on custom C++/CUDA inference engines utilizing PagedAttention, continuous batching, speculative decoding, and optimized FP8/INT4 quantization. Deep systems engineering expertise is necessary to balance network interconnects (InfiniBand/RoCE), GPU memory bandwidth, and custom load balancers to minimize time-to-first-token and inter-token latency under heavy load.
