Could you build this?
Partial The page is a quantized GGUF release of an existing open coding model, so reproducing the quantization is accessible, but the underlying model requires ML expertise and massive compute to create from scratch.
What it would actually take: Starting from the open base weights, you would use llama.cpp tooling with an importance matrix (imatrix) and mixed-precision quantization to fit under 5GB, then benchmark throughput on target hardware. Matching the claimed quality and speed requires calibration data curation and quantization expertise. Training a comparable MoE coding model from scratch would need large GPU clusters and ML research skills.
