Could you build this?
No The product is a near-silicon inference optimizer that writes megakernels and tunes performance on 8x B300 GPUs, which is low-level GPU kernel work that vibe coding cannot substitute for.
What it would actually take: Building this means writing fused CUDA/PTX or CUTLASS-level kernels, profiling with Nsight, and understanding the hardware's memory hierarchy and interconnect in detail. It also needs a serving stack such as SGLang or vLLM to integrate with, and expensive multi-GPU nodes to benchmark on. The work requires GPU performance engineers with deep compiler and hardware knowledge.
