I spent a couple weekends trying to reimplement microsoft's inferencing for phi4 multimodal in rust. I had zero experience messing with ONNX before. Claude produced a believably good first pass but it ended up being too much work in the end and I've put it down for the moment.

I spent a lot of time fixing Claude's misunderstanding of the `ort` library, mainly because of Claude's knowledge cutoff. In the end, the draft just wasn't complete enough to get working without diving in really deep. I also kind of learned that ONNX probably isn't the best way to approach these things anymore. Most of the mindshare is around the python code and torch apis.

This is an interesting.
