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.

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