Could you build this?
No Inventing and training a novel O(N) linear-complexity neural network architecture requires deep theoretical machine learning research and substantial compute resources.
What it would actually take: Developing a viable alternative to Transformers requires deep mathematical expertise in state-space models (SSMs), recurrent neural mechanisms, or linear attention formulations (like Mamba or RWKV). It requires custom low-level CUDA kernels (Triton/CUDA C++) to achieve real-world hardware efficiency and FLOP utilization. Validating the architecture also requires hundreds of thousands of dollars in GPU clusters to benchmark against standard LLM pretraining baselines.
