What is Python 3.15 JIT?

CPython's new just-in-time compiler, tracing hot code paths for speedups over the interpreter—now hitting 5-12% averages early.

How much faster is Python 3.15 with JIT?

11-12% on macOS AArch64 vs. tail-caller, 5-6% on Linux x86_64; peaks over 100% in benchmarks.

Alpha soon—enable in betas; stable 3.15 late 2025, with free-threading eyeing 3.16.
