   Python at the Speed of Rust▲68

   I’m sure many of you are familiar, but there’s a treacherous gap between finding (or building) a model that works in PyTorch, and getting that deployed into your application, especially in consumer-facing applications. I’ve been very interested in solving this problem with a great developer experience. Over time, I gradually realized that the highest-impact thing to have was a way to go from existing Python code to a self-contained native binary—in other words, a Python compiler. I was already pretty familiar with a successful attempt: when Apple introduced armv8 on the iPhone 5s, they…

    Optimizing LiteLLM with Rust – When Expectations Meet Reality▲27

    I've been working on Fast LiteLLM - a Rust acceleration layer for the popular LiteLLM library - and I had some interesting learnings that might resonate with other developers trying to squeeze performance out of existing systems. My assumption was that LiteLLM, being a Python library, would have plenty of low-hanging fruit for optimization. I set out to create a Rust layer using PyO3 to accelerate the performance-critical parts: token counting, routing, rate limiting, and connection pooling. The Approach - Built Rust implementations for token counting using tiktoken-rs - Added lock-free data…

    Google Docs for Python basically. For the past 4 months, I’ve been working on a full-stack project I’m really proud of called PyTogether; a real-time collaborative Python IDE designed with beginners in mind (think Google Docs, but for Python). It’s meant for pair programming, tutoring, or just learning Python together. It’s completely free. No subscriptions, no ads, nothing. Just create an account, make a group, and start a project. Has proper code-linting, extremely intuitive UI, autosaving, and live cursors. There are no limitations at the moment (except for code size to prevent malicious…
