Could you build this?

No Training and building a foundation model for zero-shot probabilistic time-series forecasting requires novel machine learning research and massive compute.

What it would actually take: Requires curating massive, multi-domain time-series datasets and designing a novel probabilistic transformer or diffusion architecture for zero-shot forecasting. Training requires substantial distributed GPU compute clusters (PyTorch, DeepSpeed) and domain expertise in statistical probability theory, distribution modeling, and deep learning research. Vibe coding cannot generate foundation model weights or the ML infrastructure needed to train them.
