Could you build this?
Partial Gradient masking to tune only selected neurons is implementable in PyTorch, but choosing which neurons to tune and showing it works well requires ML research judgment.
What it would actually take: The stack is a Python/PyTorch pipeline with a local model loader, neuron-selection logic, and a gradient mask or hook that updates only chosen parameters. The hard part is the selection method and evaluation, which needs ML research experience and sufficient GPU compute for meaningful experiments.
