The recording is out for the ICML 2026 talk I gave with @cmazzaanthony on our continual learning work at @Shopify : Model Optimization Flywheel: Continuously Self-Improving LLMs in Production. Watch it here: icml.cc/virtual/2026/75732

Builders, this one's for you. DevMode just dropped: gear made by devs, for devs. Just in time for DotDev 🙂

Shopify is joining the PyTorch foundation. AI is becoming the operating layer for commerce, Shopify is taking action. I've been an avid PyTorch user for years - can't wait to provide my "invaluable feedback"(tm)(c) more directly :-).
We’re excited to welcome Shopify as a Platinum Member of the PyTorch Foundation @ShopifyEng 🎉 Shopify provides essential internet infrastructure for commerce and relies on PyTorch as a key part of applied machine learning across Shopify's all-in-one platform that makes it easier to start, run, and grow a business.

Everyone's talking about AI-generated HTML.
But have you tried giving your sites a zero-config API for saving data, file storage, AI, websockets, etc?
We did this at Shopify. Runs on a single VM that costs $200/month, and it's changed the way we work.
We call it Quick 👇🧵

⚡ @Shopify is running sub-agents in parallel to analyze complex data over a long horizon for more accurate merchant growth forecasts at a global scale.

Shopify merchants get UCP built-in and work with all agentic storefronts. What about everyone else?
👉🏻 github.com/Shopify/ucp-proxy
Introducing UCP Proxy: a DIY implementation that lets any commerce backend speak UCP. Your store stays the system-of-work & truth, the proxy translates.
What's in the box:
• REST + MCP transports
• Capability negotiation
• Discount + fulfillment capabilities
• Custom payment handlers
• Configurable escalation rules
In short, batteries included for core UCP primitives. Fork it, review the demo adapters and documentation to get started. Enable UCP for your shape of commerce.
Shopify Engineering retweeted
Foundation for agentic commerce, done right.
UCP models core functions of commerce. Capability extensions let you bring your own — UCP is extensible by design, because commerce is an ever-evolving bazaar. Two-sided payment negotiation: merchant PSPs, buyer preferences, negotiated dynamically per transaction—payments working as they should. And when the API hits a wall? Graceful handoff to the buyer is built-in.
Let's do a quick tour of how we designed it... 🧵
Shopify is building the foundation for agentic commerce.
Universal Commerce Protocol, which we co-developed with Google, is now live. UCP will make it faster for agents and retailers to integrate.
It’s open by default, so platforms and agents can use UCP to start transacting with any merchant. Major retailers are already using it.
Agents can handle everything from discovery to fulfillment, and support things like discounts, subscriptions, and loyalty programs. We’ve accounted for all types of commerce.

Here's the technical breakdown of how we built it 🧵

It's officially Black Friday in the first time zones and we're live with this year's Live Globe, now inside a pinball machine.
The design is beautiful, it’s fun to play, and live sales trigger surprises. The team went all out on this one.
Give it a spin.

Shopify teams are using AI to announce their internal tools is one of the most delightful side effects of the AI age. This one is too fun not to share

In case you're wondering who took all the @OpenAI 1T(!) tokens
It's @MParakhin

Thank you @Cloudflare for the award!
It's very fun for @tobi and our teams @Shopify + @ShopifyEng to work together with @eastdakota @zatlyn @dok2001

regular "unserious exploration" is the playground for surfacing new ideas — structured R&D in disguise
shopify culture is primo 🤙

Proud of the work we did in @remix_run (and ultimately @ReactRouter ) to move to @vite_js , but even more grateful to the Vite community — esp. other framework authors — for their help.
Listen to their stories (and ours!) in the new Vite documentary:

In recent months, we've seen several apps migrate to the New Architecture, to unleash better performance.
One example is how @ShopifyEng was able to improve app launch on Android & iOS, while also reducing unnecessary re-rendering.
