Could you build this?

Partial The proxy server layer is straightforward to scaffold, but negotiating wholesale pricing to sell 10-30% below official rates requires capital, volume agreements, or GPU hosting.

What it would actually take: The technical proxy can be written in Go or Node.js to stream SSE responses and normalize requests across providers. However, achieving 10-30% discounts beneath retail API prices requires negotiating custom volume commitments with tier-1 providers or hosting open-weights models on rented GPU clusters with optimized batching (vLLM/SGLang). Robust rate-limiting, usage metering, and fraud-resistant billing systems are also mandatory.
