Synopsis

This paper conducts a comparative analysis of Python and C++ for high-performance AI model deployment in the context of increasing demands for real-time, scalable, and efficient AI systems. Python has long been favored for its ease of use and strong ecosystem of AI libraries, while C++ remains preferred in performance-critical applications due to its low-level memory management and runtime efficiency. The study examines the trade-offs in deployment time, inference speed, memory usage, and integration with hardware accelerators across different AI deployment frameworks. Empirical evaluations were conducted using representative AI models across both languages, highlighting the scenarios in which one language significantly outperforms the other. Our findings provide practical recommendations for developers and researchers optimizing AI deployment in production systems.
