  • Simon Willison released web-edit 0.1a1, a new web application designed for editing files directly within a folder.
  • A key aspect of this release is its performance optimizations, which were achieved through an advanced AI-driven workflow.
  • This optimization process involved using GPT-6 Astra to generate a Python 3.15 profiling report, which was then fed to Claude Opus 5.5 to write the actual performance improvements, showcasing a practical application of high-end LLMs in code optimization.
