Could you build this?

Partial The frame-packing algorithm is simple enough to implement with an AI assistant, but meaningful validation requires access to large VLMs, GPU inference, and long-video benchmarks.

What it would actually take: Implement the scoring (text-frame similarity and diversity ranking) and variable-resolution packing as an inference-time wrapper around an open VLM such as Qwen-VL. The hard part is reproducing the reported gains, which needs GPU capacity to run large models across LongVideoBench, MLVU, and Video-MME, plus research familiarity with evaluation protocols.
