AI-powered code optimization is transforming how SAS users improve performance by automatically identifying bottlenecks and rewriting inefficient code. This session introduces SAS “performance agents” that analyze SAS programs, test multiple optimization strategies in parallel, and generate faster, validated alternatives without requiring manual tuning. Through examples and demos, you’ll see how small changes, like switching PROCs or restructuring algorithms, can deliver massive speed gains while preserving accuracy. The session highlights how agents can scale performance improvements across workloads, helping teams iterate faster and get more value from cloud compute.
