Could you build this?
No Training a 78-billion parameter mixture-of-experts foundation model with a 1M token context window requires millions of dollars in compute, specialized ML research teams, and massive pretraining infrastructure.
What it would actually take: Building an MoE LLM requires massive distributed GPU clusters (hundreds/thousands of H100s) managed with frameworks like Megatron-LM or DeepSpeed, specialized tokenization and architecture design, curated multi-terabyte bilingual pretraining corpora, and extensive post-training/alignment (RLHF/DPO) by senior AI researchers.
