It was just last week that Python 3.13 saw its official release with many great features from a new interactive interpreter to an experimental JIT and removing the Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) in the experimental free-threaded build mode. Feature development on Python 3.14 is far from over: the feature freeze isn't scheduled until May when the Python 3.14 Beta release is set to arrive. Python 3.14 has also landed the annotationlib module for introspecting annotations, the asyncio code now uses double linked lists for speeding up execution by 10% on PyPerformance benchmarks while enjoying lower memory use, and various other changes.
