Could you build this?
Partial Building a CLI tool is routine, but embedding local ML models (semantic search/embeddings) to run fast on CPU inside a single self-contained Rust binary requires significant systems engineering.
What it would actually take: The architecture needs Rust combined with an embedded lightweight inference engine like `ort` (ONNX Runtime) or `candle`, utilizing quantized embedding models (e.g., MiniLM or BGE). Hard pieces include streaming file parsing, tokenization, fast in-memory SIMD-accelerated vector similarity search, and keeping cold-start latency low enough to feel like standard `grep`. It requires familiarity with systems programming and local ML quantization techniques.
