Could you build this?
Partial The marketing site and basic job submission UI are straightforward, but managing secure multi-tenant GPU training infrastructure, LoRA execution queues, and model checkpointing at scale is complex.
What it would actually take: The frontend is a standard Next.js app, but the backend requires a robust worker orchestration system (using Ray, Celery, or Kubernetes with GPU device plugins) connecting to cloud GPU providers (RunPod, Lambda, AWS). It requires data preprocessing pipelines that validate formats (JSONL/ShareGPT), dynamically inject LoRA adapters via PEFT/vLLM/Triton, and handle artifact storage with S3 and Hugging Face Hub APIs. Managing elastic GPU provisioning and sandboxed execution without incurring massive idle costs is the primary infrastructure hurdle.

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