Could you build this?
No Building a heterogeneous ML runtime targeting Apple Silicon MLX GPU and the Apple Neural Engine requires deep hardware-level optimization and compiler/runtime systems expertise.
What it would actually take: Developing this requires deep low-level knowledge of Apple's unified memory architecture, Metal/MLX kernel programming, and the undocumented Apple Neural Engine (ANE) instruction set or CoreML MIL compiler graphs. It requires building a custom tensor runtime that partitions computation graphs between GPU and ANE while ensuring numerical correctness and cache efficiency.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a model & infra tool for Fintech yet.
