Could you build this?
Partial A hardware-detection and model-picker UI is easy to vibe-code. Running chat, image, video, and voice models locally across macOS, Windows, and Linux, with accurate 'will this actually run' predictions, is much harder.
What it would actually take: The stack would be Rust with bindings to llama.cpp, stable-diffusion.cpp, and similar runtimes, or a wrapper over Ollama or ComfyUI. The hard part is accurate memory and VRAM estimation across GPU vendors and quantizations, which needs benchmarking data and per-platform testing. Video and voice pipelines add GPU-driver and packaging complexity, so someone with local ML inference and cross-platform systems experience is needed.
