Could you build this?
No The product is a programmable AI processor validated on an FPGA, which requires chip design, RTL, and hardware verification expertise that vibe coding cannot supply.
What it would actually take: A real version requires a hardware team with ASIC or FPGA design experience, including RTL design in Verilog or SystemVerilog, a custom compiler and quantization toolchain, memory-bandwidth-optimized dataflow, and physical design and tape-out. Benchmarking against Jetson-class devices and building a silicon product for robotics adds cost and time measured in years and millions of dollars.
