Could you build this?

No Developing a custom high-performance inference engine (Ion) on NVIDIA Grace and Blackwell that outperforms vLLM/SGLang requires elite systems, CUDA, and kernel-level GPU engineering.

What it would actually take: Building this requires low-level C++/CUDA systems engineering, custom tensor core kernels, PagedAttention optimizations, and deep knowledge of NVIDIA architecture (Grace CPU + Blackwell GPU interconnects). Additionally, it demands distributed systems infrastructure for global multi-tenant inference, KV-cache sharing, and physical hardware resource billing.
