Could you build this?

No This is a research-grade model compression of a 31B video+audio diffusion model to 14B with INT8 quantization and few-step sampling, which requires ML research expertise and large GPU resources; the scraped page is also just GitHub boilerplate.

What it would actually take: Reproducing it means working with the base model weights, designing distillation or pruning, and running quality evaluations on video and audio outputs, typically needing a team with diffusion-model research skills and multi-GPU compute. Vibe coding can help with scripts but cannot substitute for that expertise.
