Could you build this?
No Writing a custom CUDA inference engine from scratch requires deep expertise in GPU architecture, low-level memory coalescing, and kernel optimization.
What it would actually take: Building this engine entails writing raw C++/CUDA kernels for FlashAttention, matrix multiplications (GEMM using cuBLAS/CUTLASS), custom fused activations, and KV cache management. The hard parts include manual warp-level primitives, shared memory tiling, and optimizing memory bandwidth to saturate modern GPUs without relying on PyTorch or vLLM. It requires specialized systems engineers with deep expertise in HPC and GPU hardware architectures.

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