We asked an agent for a benchmark dashboard, then kept pushing it to drive every number on it lower. The result is 123 commits that cut distilled's bundles by a third, its added latency by four fifths and its import memory by three quarters. Distilled now adds 5 to 109 times less latency per call than the official AWS, Cloudflare and GCP SDKs, and stays ahead with every response validated.
One package per provider, bindings that work from any cloud, @alchemy.run/domain, faster distilled SDKs, and Cloudflare OAuth that can create Account API Tokens.
