Could you build this?
No Building a zero-dependency C++ inference engine with custom tensor memory layouts, operator dispatch, and hand-tuned SIMD kernels requires specialized low-level systems and high-performance computing expertise.
What it would actually take: A production implementation requires modern C++ (C++17/20) and explicit vector intrinsics (AVX-512, AVX2, ARM NEON) to write cache-aligned matrix multiplication, convolution, and attention kernels from scratch without ggml or BLAS. The hardest part is achieving real-time latency on CPU hardware by minimizing cache misses, managing register pressure, and tailoring quantization schemes specifically for vision-language-action policies. This demands seasoned systems performance engineers with deep knowledge of microarchitecture, CPU hardware profiling, and robotics neural network architectures.
