Could you build this?
No Taliesin requires deep GPU kernel engineering (CUDA/Triton), memory hierarchy optimization, and exact numerical verification across GPU architectures for LLM KV-cache compression and fast restore.
What it would actually take: Building this requires custom CUDA/Triton kernels to handle low-level GPU memory manipulation, paged attention mechanics, and lossy/lossless cache serialization. It requires an in-depth understanding of GPU interconnects (NVLink/PCIe), streaming multiprocessor layouts, and strict numerical tolerances across different microarchitectures (Ampere, Hopper, etc.).
