Could you build this?
Partial The dashboard and deployment flows are straightforward to vibe-code, but a real multi-node GPU manager needs reliable scheduling, networking, and failure recovery across machines.
What it would actually take: A real version would likely be a Go or Rust control plane with agents on each GPU host, talking over SSH or gRPC, and launching vLLM/SGLang as containers or processes. The hard parts are GPU inventory and placement, NCCL/RDMA-aware networking for multi-node tensor parallelism, health checks, and recovery from node or GPU failures. Building it well requires distributed systems and GPU infrastructure experience, plus a real multi-GPU test cluster to validate against.
