Could you build this?

No Porting a complex ML pipeline to pure Rust using HuggingFace's Candle framework without Python dependencies requires deep systems and deep learning runtime engineering.

What it would actually take: This requires implementing neural network architectures, custom tensor operations, and model weights conversion directly in Rust using the Candle ML framework. The developer must have deep familiarity with low-level tensor manipulation, GPU backends (CUDA/Metal), memory alignment, and reproducing the exact logic of the target Python model without relying on PyTorch or Python runtimes.
