Could you build this?

Partial An inference SDK and demo around an existing single-image-to-3D model is vibe-codeable. The model itself is the hard piece, since it needs research-grade training and GPU infrastructure that vibe coding alone won't produce.

What it would actually take: Wrapping the released model is a Python package with a GPU inference server and a web demo. Building the model from scratch requires ML research skills, large curated 3D datasets, and substantial multi-GPU training compute. Those are the specialized inputs that a vibe-coded version cannot replace.
