Python has a hidden superpower-- not only can you run Python and write Python, but you can also run Python inside other languages and tools using Python's "embedded mode". I've been going on a journey to embed Python into C# for a project called CSnakes. In this talk, you'll learn about what...

If there's anything that AI is known for, it's not speed. Other than throw more GPU's at the problem, what can you do to make AI models run faster? In this talk, you'll learn about AI model performance, what impacts it and what you can do to improve it.

Python 3.12 introduced a new parallel execution model called "sub interpreters" that uses a per-interpreter GIL to unlock a new way of writing parallel code that's faster than multiprocessing. Python 3.13 introduces another new parallel execution model called "free-threading" (previously called...

“The website is slow”. These four words can strike fear and dread in the heart of any developer. Load Testing is a tool for preparing your website for high demand, but designing a good load test is a fine-art. In this talk, we’ll explore how design effective load tests for web apps in Python

In this talk you'll see an update to the Pyjion project, a JIT compiler for CPython byte-code. This project was started 5 years ago but stopped after making no gains in performance.
