Could you build this?
No This requires low-level systems programming, writing bare-metal GPU/NPU kernels (Metal, Hexagon, OpenCL), and custom cross-platform C++ runtimes.
What it would actually take: A viable platform needs custom-written compute kernels in Apple Metal Shading Language and Qualcomm Hexagon NPU assembly/C, customized quantized tensor layouts, a unified zero-overhead C++ inference engine, and multi-platform compilation toolchains for iOS, Android, WASM, and desktop operating systems.
