No It relies on a proprietary fine-tuned 27B model specifically calibrated to output probabilities rather than text, served via large-scale inference infrastructure.
What it would actually take: The core system requires training or fine-tuning a 27B multimodal parameter model on vast datasets of scored judgments, heavily calibrated for output probability accuracy rather than generative text. The infrastructure demands high-throughput GPU serving clusters (using vLLM, TensorRT-LLM, or Triton) supporting multimodal inputs and batched JSON scoring. Building this requires specialized ML research scientists, calibration experts, and large GPU capital.
