LLMs and Code Optimization
This has been a feature of the Scalene Python profiler (https://github.com/plasma-umass/scalene) for some time (at this point, about 1.5 years) - bring your own API key for OpenAI / Azure / Bedrock, also works with Ollama. Optimizing Python code to use NumPy or other similar native libraries can easily yield multiple order of magnitude improvements in real-world settings. We tried it on several of the success stories of Scalene (before the integration with LLMs); see https://github.com/plasma-umass/scalene/issues/58 - and found that it often automatically yielded the same or better optimizations - see https://github.com/plasma-umass/scalene/issues/554. (Full disclosure: I am one of the principal designers of Scalene.)

Ask HN: Are my HPC professors right? Is Python worthless compared to C?
Using Python for glue code and compiled native code (whether C or C++ or Rust or whatever) is a classic strategy.
Just profile your code with something like Scalene: https://github.com/plasma-umass/scalene
Alternatively, you can just write it in Julia.

Using Rust to corrode insane Python run-times
I really want to know what the optimizations might have looked like had they used a profiler like scalene [0] to find where the unnecessary copying was happening.

Making Python 100x faster with less than 100 lines of Rust
You should take a look at Scalene - it's even better.

Blog Post: Making Python 100x faster with less than 100 lines of Rust
I like seeing another Python profiler. The one I've been playing with is Scalene (GitHub). It does some fun things related to letting you see how much things are moving across the system Python memory boundary.
