Could you build this?
No This is a frontier image model shipped by OpenAI with native GIF and SVG export and identity consistency. Replicating its quality requires large-scale model training and compute that vibe coding cannot provide.
What it would actually take: Building a comparable product means training or licensing a multimodal image generation model, which requires large GPU clusters, massive curated image datasets, and ML research teams. Consistency across edits and native animation export add further model-level research. Wrapping an existing image API gets a thin version, but not the underlying capability.
