Could you build this?

Partial While an AI can write high-performance Rust web servers and bind to ONNX Runtime, creating an optimized CPU inference runtime tailored to a specific model family requires deep systems and ML deployment expertise.

What it would actually take: Built with Rust (Axum/Actix-Web) wrapping ONNX Runtime or Tract, with custom tokenization and attention kernels. The hard part is tuning SIMD CPU execution, thread pools, and memory allocation across multilingual architectures to hit low latency without GPU acceleration.
