Thank you @nvidia for the hookup on this DGX Workstation. This will crunch a *lot* of high quality tokens here!
This thing is a total beast.
OpenAI shipped /goal not too long ago.
I feel like GPT-5.6-sol is the first model that just doesn't need it anymore? It just keeps on going until the thing is done. Really impressive.
This is the kind of delightful nonsense that made us fall in love with this industry back in the day. More shenanigans please
so… the herdr plugin marketplace just passed 169 plugins and i've been going through them:
someone made one that renders your coding agents as pixel-art sheep on a farm. when a session ends, the sheep dies and is buried in the graveyard :(
and this isn't even my favorite one 👇🧵

Thank you for this, (esp. the Generate test data for store)
Shopify is such a good product for both customers, shop owners, and developers
A delight to build for, thank you for putting this much thought.
Platforms do not realize how painful it is to create/seed a test account (its flat out impossible on most other platforms)
Long Live Shopify

“I’ve now been disrupted at a podcast about Jewish entrepreneurs, at the opening of a Jewish community centre, and at a fireside chat about building companies. None of those events had anything to do with politics. The only common thread is me, a proud Jew, on a stage.”
Thank you @harleyf for saying it like it is.

Our points-based immigration system was once the envy of the world. ✈️🇨🇦
Today, it disproportionately rewards qualifications prior to arrival and leaves new immigrants to navigate on their own, with 1 in 5 leaving within 25 years.
An overhaul of the system focused on continuously evaluating immigrants’ contributions (ex. paying taxes, earning trade certifications, starting a business, volunteering, etc.) will help create a system where the most productive members of our communities stay and earn citizenship.

‼️ BREAKING: The Trump administration is holding hearings this week on 10% tariffs against Canadian goods.
Every serious country sent delegations to Washington to make their case.
Canada sent nobody.
Not a minister.
Not an ambassador.
Not a trade official.
A Canadian citizen paid his own airfare to Washington to defend Canadian jobs.
He testified in front of the US Trade Representative because his own government would not.
CANADA WAS ELECTED A PRIME MINISTER BECAUSE HE WAS THE ONLY PERSON WHO COULD HANDLE TRUMP.
Trump held a hearing on tariffs against Canada.
Carney sent a nobody.
A private Canadian did the Prime Minister’s job.

Sol, Terra, and Luna, our GPT‑5.6 family of models, are starting to roll out now in ChatGPT, Codex, and the API.
(2) Muse Spark 1.1 is strongest at agentic performance, tool use, and computer use. It does well on long-running tasks with 1M token context window, can delegate execution to sub-agents running in parallel, and is trained to use computer interfaces on desktop, mobile, or browser.

What happened at @startupfest yesterday was antisemitism. Pure & simple. Disguised under a thin veil of advocacy, and everyone in the room saw right through it.
I was on stage with Georges St-Pierre talking about entrepreneurship. Not politics. A man burst in screaming horrible accusations at me anyway. Third time in 2 years, including at the opening of a Jewish community centre.
My parents were in the front row. I'll never forget their faces.
When the target is always the Jew and never the topic, it's not advocacy. It's hate.
The room booed him down and cheered as he was walked out. I'm grateful for that.
Hate got escorted out. We got right back to building.

An Access to Information request filed by Blacklock’s Reporter (@mindingottawa) has uncovered a federal government strategy for monitoring, organizing, assessing and responding to online "misinformation" — including contemplated legal action against individual Canadians. The 35-page internal Innovation, Science and Economic Development (ISED) document outlines a system for tracking online narratives, assessing individual posts, and escalating responses. It also contemplates legal action against Canadians over social media commentary.
If you receive a government demand letter seeking the removal of your online content, submit a request for legal representation to the Justice Centre. We want to hear from you.

Just shipped 🚀: catalog-kit |
After building a few demos on @Shopify's Global Catalog, I wanted to make it easier to build more. So I turned the whole setup into an open source, agent-ready starter kit.
Just ask Claude or Codex to:
"Clone and read AGENTS.md, then build me a on the Global Catalog."
then ship it to @vercel or @Cloudflare Workers.
Thank you @tobi, @harleyf, @ShopifyDevs and the team for making this so easy to build on.
