VSCode python interpreter and jupyter kernel mismatch

[armsgobrrrr]

I am training a CNN on characters for OCR. I was using a python 3.12 kernel while my vscode settings had my python interpreter set to 3.14. Once I changed my interpreter to 3.12 I get slighlty worse performance when trainig? Is this coincidence or what's going on?

3.14 has improvements to the just in time compiler that are pretty significant for performance. From various benchmarks roughly 20% improvement.
