Could you build this?
Partial Running standalone WebGPU models in-browser is vibe-codeable using libraries like Transformers.js, but peer-powered distributed inference and decentralized model training require complex distributed systems engineering.
What it would actually take: A production version requires a WebGPU client runtime paired with a P2P networking layer (such as WebRTC or libp2p) that handles tensor/pipeline parallelism across unreliable heterogeneous client nodes. The hard parts are distributed fault-tolerant scheduling, latency management across consumer internet connections, and secure verification of peer computations without significant overhead.

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