Could you build this?

Partial Building a custom MLX inference engine that parses GGUF quantizations and handles specific token streams requires deep ML systems knowledge beyond standard LLM wrapping.

What it would actually take: Requires an Apple Silicon inference server in Python/C++ using Apple's MLX library, implementing custom GGUF parsing, tensor deserialization, dequantization routines, and model weight mapping for the Qwen architecture alongside a custom line protocol socket server. Demands expertise in low-level machine learning frameworks and model inference optimization.
