Why it matters for readers: Explains how AI model tuning and system-level optimizations can make shopping assistants and recommendations faster and cheaper.

  • Shopify post-trained an open model (Nemotron 3.5 Lightning) using NVIDIA Megatron Bridge and NeMo RL for its GraphQL subagent in Sidekick.1
  • On Shopify’s internal benchmark the post-trained model surpassed a leading frontier model in accuracy while cutting serving costs by 90% and delivering responses 7x faster.1
  • NVIDIA CCluster vLLM inference optimization delivered up to 4.5x faster performance and up to 12x lower inference cost across five additional Shopify use cases.1
  • European retailers are applying NVIDIA-accelerated open and frontier models across agentic commerce, digital product discovery and retail R&D, and simulating multi-robot fleet collaboration in digital twins.1
