Could you build this?

No Making sklearn operations run on Metal requires writing GPU kernels and matching numerical behavior and API semantics, which needs GPU and numerical-computing expertise.

What it would actually take: Requires a Swift or Objective-C wrapper and Metal Shading Language kernels for the supported algorithms, such as matrix ops, distance computations, and tree or linear model primitives. The team needs deep knowledge of GPU memory layout, floating-point precision, and scikit-learn's internals to match outputs and fall back to CPU correctly. Vibe coding can scaffold the package, but the kernels and correctness testing need specialized numerical GPU engineering.
