Could you build this?

Partial Setting up basic benchmark wrappers is straightforward, but creating an efficient ML research evaluation harness optimized for low-budget edge GPUs and Raspberry Pi hardware requires low-level systems and memory tuning.

What it would actually take: The stack involves Python, PyTorch/llama.cpp/vLLM runtimes, and Dockerized harnesses coordinated across ARM/x86 architectures. The difficult aspects include managing constrained unified memory, writing custom quantization/kernel execution paths, and handling thermal throttling and low-latency IPC across low-power silicon. This demands systems-level performance engineering and hardware-aware deep learning expertise.
