Could you build this?

No REPI is novel deep learning academic research involving architectural modifications to Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) and massive GPU compute clusters for training on large-scale image datasets.

What it would actually take: Building REPI requires implementing novel training dynamics in PyTorch/JAX with custom attention hooks to dynamically substitute and internalize Key/Value projections from visual encoders like DINOv2 into diffusion transformers (such as SiT-XL/2). Training requires distributed training infrastructure (e.g., DeepSpeed or Megatron-LM) across high-end GPU clusters (e.g., dozens of NVIDIA A100/H100s) on datasets like ImageNet. Achieving these results demands deep expertise in generative modeling, mathematical loss formulation, and high-performance distributed computing.
