Could you build this?

Partial Creating the API wrapper and billing is simple, but achieving sub-2-second server-side segmentation with delicate edge fidelity (hair/fur) requires fine-tuned computer vision models and scalable GPU inference infrastructure.

What it would actually take: Architecture requires a containerized deep learning segmentation pipeline (e.g., BiRefNet or RMBG) running on autoscaling GPU instances (such as Modal or RunPod) with TensorRT optimization. It demands expertise in ML model optimization, image pre/post-processing pipelines, and high-throughput serverless API routing.
