that ensures correctness while improving the performance of your python code

It uses advanced LLMs to generate multiple optimization ideas for your code, tests them to be correct and benchmarks them for performance. It then opens merge ready Pull Requests with the best optimization it found that you can review and merge.

Tracing to tracing


## Features
Codeflash is used by top engineering teams at [Pydantic](https://github.com/pydantic/pydantic/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3Amisrasaurabh1+is%3Amerged), [Langflow](https://github.com/langflow-ai/langflow/issues?q=state%3Aclosed%20is%3Apr%20author%3Amisrasaurabh1), [Albumentations](https://github.com/albumentations-team/albumentations/issues?q=state%3Amerged%20is%3Apr%20author%3Akrrt7%20OR%20state%3Amerged%20is%3Apr%20author%3Aaseembits93%20) and many others to ship performant, expert level code.

Codeflash is great at optimizing AI Agents, Computer vision algorithms, numerical code, backend code or anything else you might write with Python.

```
pip install codeflash
```

Add codeflash as a development time dependency if you are using package managers like uv or poetry.
## Quick Start

1. Configure Codeflash for your project:
```
codeflash init
```

2. Optimize a function:
1. To configure Codeflash for a project, at the root directory of your project where the pyproject.toml file is located, run:
```
codeflash --file path/to/your/file.py --function function_name
codeflash init
```
- It will ask you a few questions about your project like the location of your code and tests
- Ask you to generate an [API Key](https://app.codeflash.ai/app/apikeys) to access Codeflash's LLMs

setup github actions

- The codeflash config is then saved in the pyproject.toml file.

3. Optimize your entire codebase:
2. Optimize your entire codebase:
```
codeflash --all
```
This can take a while to run for a large codebase, but it will keep opening PRs as it finds optimizations.
