title: Pre-release Python canary — 3.14t free-threaded
---
An allow-failure matrix leg on Python pre-releases and the free-threaded
           (no-GIL) build gives early warning of breakage before users on new
           interpreters hit it. Cheap insurance for a project that already targets
           3.9&nbsp;→&nbsp;3.14 and can't afford a surprise on release day.
