Could you build this?
No Model distillation with rigorous mathematical disagreement bounds requires theoretical machine learning research, custom loss formulations, and expensive GPU training runs.
What it would actually take: This project implements formal knowledge distillation algorithms with conformal prediction or statistical guarantees bounding model deviation. The stack requires PyTorch, DeepSpeed/vLLM, fine-tuning infrastructure on GPU clusters, and statistical evaluation frameworks for discrepancy bounds. It requires deep research-level ML expertise in statistical learning theory, distillation techniques, and LLM optimization.

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