Could you build this?

Partial A GUI and CLI for running, converting, and exporting models to GGUF can be vibe-coded using existing tools. Training competitive ternary models, however, requires novel quantization-aware research and substantial compute.

What it would actually take: The stack would use PyTorch for training, custom ternary quantization layers (BitNet-style weights in {-1, 0, +1}), a GGUF converter via llama.cpp tooling, and a simple front end. The hard part is achieving good model quality under ternary constraints, which needs ML research expertise and experimentation. Fine-tuning and training at useful scale also requires significant GPU time, which a home computer limits.
