Rspress 2.0 has launched with a redesigned default theme, significant build performance improvements, and AI-native features. The new SSG-MD mode generates Markdown and llms.txt output from documentation sites via the React virtual DOM, making content suitable for AI agents with a single config line. Lazy compilation cuts cold start times to ~50ms, and persistent caching improves subsequent builds by 30–60%. Syntax highlighting has moved from Prism to Shiki for build-time, VS Code-consistent highlighting. Multiple packages have been consolidated into a single @rspress/core package. The release requires Node.js 20+, supports React 18 and 19, and drops the Rust-based MDX parser in favor of the JS MDX parser for better ecosystem compatibility.
