.. _whatsnew314-free-threaded-cpython:
Free-threaded mode
------------------
Free-threaded mode (:pep:`703`), initially added in 3.13, has been significantly improved.
The implementation described in PEP 703 was finished, including C API changes,
and temporary workarounds in the interpreter were replaced with more permanent solutions.
The specializing adaptive interpreter (:pep:`659`) is now enabled in free-threaded mode,
which along with many other optimizations greatly improves its performance.
The performance penalty on single-threaded code in free-threaded mode is now roughly 5-10%,
depending on platform and C compiler used.
This work was done by many contributors: Sam Gross, Matt Page, Neil Schemenauer,
Thomas Wouters, Donghee Na, Kirill Podoprigora, Ken Jin, Itamar Oren,
Brett Simmers, Dino Viehland, Nathan Goldbaum, Ralf Gommers, Lysandros Nikolaou,
Kumar Aditya, Edgar Margffoy, and many others.
Some of these contributors are employed by Meta, which has continued to provide
significant engineering resources to support this project.
