Achilles: LLM-powered Python performance optimizer

How to use Achilles

Install Achilles using the following command:

uv add achilles-optimizer

Once Achilles is installed, you can optimize a python executable using the following command:

uv run achilles optimize your_python_file.py --your_python_args

If you've already ran Achilles once, you can benchmark it against the non-optimized python code with the following command:

uv run achilles benchmark your_python_file.py --your_python_args

To run a python executable using achillles, just type the following command:

uv run achilles run your_python_file.py --your_python_args

Additional Information

Requirements

• Python 3.13 or later
• uv package manager
• An Anthropic API key (Claude)

Environment Setup

You can set up your Anthropic API key in one of two ways:

1. Set the ANTHROPIC_API_KEY environment variable
2. Create a .env file in your project directory with the following content:

   ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
   

How It Works

Achilles uses Claude to analyze your Python code and optimize its performance by:

• Identifying bottlenecks through profiling
• Implementing optimizations automatically in C++
• Importing these optimizations at runtime
