Could you build this?

Partial Building an iOS/macOS UI wrapping local inference engines like llama.cpp or MLX is straightforward, but cross-device peer-to-peer sync (OS Bridge) and reliable low-memory on-device execution on iOS require specialized systems knowledge.

What it would actually take: A production version requires a native Swift/SwiftUI frontend integrating MLX Swift or llama.cpp for on-device inference, subject to strict iOS memory limits (jetsam). The OS Bridge component demands a custom local networking protocol (e.g., MultipeerConnectivity or libp2p) for secure device pairing and context synchronization. Deep optimization around Apple Silicon unified memory and thermal throttling is essential.
