Simon Willison’s web-edit 0.1a1 release includes performance optimisations written by Claude Opus 5.5, using a Python 3.15 profiling report generated by GPT-6 Astra, Willison notes.
Why it mattersIt’s a small but concrete example of AI tools contributing at two different stages of software work: profiling a programme and writing improvements based on that profile.
Discuss: Would you trust AI-written performance changes more when they’re driven by a profiler’s report, or does the human still need to establish that the changes really help?
