In an exchange with yacineMTB, PufferLib author jsuarez reports that retuning yields roughly 3x average end-to-end speedup, with some environments seeing up to 10x — but existing users will need to retune. He also notes Puffer 5.0 is nearly done: articles, trailer, final model training and doc tweaks remain, with time to wrap up next week.
