Could you build this?
No The product is a 2B-parameter text-to-image model trained from scratch. Even at a low $21K budget, the value lies in novel architecture and training recipes, curated data, and GPU compute that vibe coding cannot supply.
What it would actually take: Reproducing this means implementing a pixel-space diffusion/flow architecture (Pyramid-JiT style) and a training pipeline in PyTorch, then curating a large image-text dataset and renting multi-GPU time for weeks. The hard parts are the ML research choices that make the training cheap and stable, plus the data and compute budget. A team with diffusion-training experience is required.
