Could you build this?

Partial A transformer framework with benchmarking and a UI is codeable with AI help, but compute-matched architecture research and autonomous architecture search need serious GPU budgets and ML research expertise.

What it would actually take: The framework layer would be a Python/PyTorch library with configs, training loops, and a dashboard for experiment tracking. The hard parts are running fair compute-matched comparisons at meaningful scale and building a search loop that produces results beyond toy models. That requires GPU clusters and researchers who know how to design credible benchmarks.
