The core of AI algorithms is not written in Python.
What is written in Python is the driver logic around it.

See, for example, https://github.com/numpy/numpy/tree/main/numpy/_core/src/npymath
for (a portion of) the C part of numpy, a popular package for
numeric computing with Python.

Can you point to a data-backed analysis that shows the current practice
of using Python for the AI driver logic leaves room for substantial
performance gains?
