Could you build this?

No A fused CUDA implementation of Zip-NeRF requires custom GPU kernel engineering and a deep understanding of the rendering math, beyond what vibe coding reliably produces.

What it would actually take: The core work is writing fused CUDA kernels for multisampled conical-frustum feature lookup, hash-grid interpolation, and the proposal-network sampling. This needs expertise in CUDA performance optimization, NeRF/rendering theory, and the NeRFICG framework, plus an NVIDIA GPU for profiling and validation against the reference implementation.
