Python 3.14 Is Here. How Fast Is It?
Python 3.14 runs approximately 27% faster than 3.13 in pure Python benchmarks. The free-threading interpreter shows impressive gains for CPU-heavy multi-threaded workloads, running up to 3x faster than the standard interpreter. However, the experimental JIT compiler showed minimal improvements.

How to implement secure MCP auth without API keys
The MCP Registry makes it easy for LLMs to discover tools, but discovery alone isn’t enough.
​Tools still need to act on behalf of users, and that requires secure, delegated access. API keys don’t cut it. They’re hard to scope, break user flows, and undermine the promise of seamless integration.
WorkOS Connect delivers a fully compliant OAuth 2.1 flow. It handles PKCE, scopes, user consent, and secure token issuance out of the box.
The WorkOS advantage:
- Compliant with MCP OAuth 2.1
- Handles redirects, consent, and scopes
- Easy to drop in and fast to ship
