Could you build this?
No Reverse-engineering proprietary hardware ISAs, writing custom code generators, and developing low-level USB drivers requires elite systems and hardware hacking expertise.
What it would actually take: The project requires reverse-engineering the Google Edge TPU proprietary instruction set using hardware logic analyzers and binary disassembly, writing a custom compiler backend for tinygrad, and building a custom userspace USB driver via libusb. It requires deep expertise in compiler construction, computer architecture, and embedded systems engineering.

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