Could you build this?

No LongBanana is a research benchmark whose value comes from expert-curated cases, reference image sets, and the compute to run image-generation models, so it cannot be vibe-coded into a credible equivalent.

What it would actually take: Reproducing it requires designing 90 expert-verified multi-reference cases with checklist annotations, collecting and labeling large reference sets, and running many image-synthesis models to produce a leaderboard. That needs research-level evaluation design, domain annotators, and substantial GPU budget.
