Could you build this?

No This is academic machine learning systems research involving novel mathematical formulations for recurrent state quantization and custom GPU kernel implementations in SGLang.

What it would actually take: Building this requires deep expertise in linear attention mechanics, numerical precision quantization, and low-level GPU programming. The stack involves PyTorch, CUDA/Triton custom kernels, and deep integration into modern LLM inference engines like SGLang or vLLM. It necessitates benchmarking against large open-weight models (e.g., Qwen and Kimi architectures) on high-end GPU clusters.
