Today, we’re announcing our partnership with @Shopify to bring Liquid Foundation Models (LFMs) to core commerce experiences. Shopify will license LFMs to enhance search and recommendations, improving relevance, conversions, and customer experience at scale.
The first production deployment is a sub‑20ms LFM that enhances search.
Shopify and Liquid have also co-developed a generative recommender model with a novel HSTU architecture. In controlled tests, the model beat the previous stack, leading to higher conversion rates from recommendations. 👇

Shopify merchants will be able to sell directly in ChatGPT.
We’ve been working with @OpenAI for quite some time so people can search and buy products in chat, and it’s something we’ve had a hard time keeping quiet.
Rollout is coming very very soon.

Always listen and learn from @tobi whenever you get a chance. One of the most independent thinkers out there.
Acquired Podcast@AcquiredFM
Trying something new and putting our entire ACQ2 episode with @tobi here on X. We talk: how Tobi "interviews" each new AI model, why he hates consensus, surviving the 2021 stock run-up and pop, how video games have been a parenting hack, and founder-led vs. managerial co's.

I’m super excited to announce that Molly, the design studio I built with @jaytel , has been acquired by @Shopify to form a new in-house group, Product Design Studio.
We’ll focus on one question: What does the future of commerce look like if we build it from the ground up with AI?
A huge thanks to @tobi, @carlrivera and @katarinabatina for entrusting us with this new role, and to everyone at Shopify who’s already welcomed us.
See you all at work.

Being quiet about this hasn’t been easy: Molly has been acquired by @shopify.
Before this, Shopify was a client of the studio. We’ve always admired their vision and been bullish about their place in an AI first future. Shopify is the repository for the world’s best products and this, we believe, will prove extremely valuable as commerce moves inside AI interfaces.
The studio model excels in a lot of relationships, but one thing it’s not ideal for: long-term, deep impact across an entire organization. And this is exactly what @carlrivera and @tobi approached us about.
We are joining to form the new in-house Product Design Studio group within the organization to answer one question: What's the future of commerce if we built it from the ground up with AI from the start?
