A user explored the performance of Python for AI tasks, noting its slowness but acknowledging the extensive AI ecosystem as its primary advantage. They conducted a test comparing Free Pascal and BLAS for matrix multiplication, finding it significantly faster than Python-based libraries like NumPy and PyTorch. This performance has inspired them to develop a small language model using Free Pascal, BLAS, and NNUE. AI
