My latest ai audit workflow.
Claude Code
- Sonnet 5.5 on HIGH (sonnet-orchestrator)
- Haiku 5.5 on MAX (haiku-worker for basic ops)
- Opus 5.5 on HIGH (opus-auditor)
- GPT 6.1 Sol on HIGH (sol-auditor)
Sonnet, Opus and Sol can utilize haiku-worker (up to 10 subagents in parallel for basic ops).
PASS is when the auditors hit 85+/100 in max 3 rounds.
FAIL after 3 rounds prompts if another round is needed.
This helps maximize the $100/mo plans on Claude and Codex.
Plus, I found that running AI workflows and agentic coding on Fedora or Omachy (both linux) is 3X-10X faster than running them on my macOS. Primary suspect Apple APFS vs Linux EXFS. Also corraborated by tests by @theo in his YT video when he ran similar deep dive tests.
Shopify says its Fall '26 Edition has "150+ updates." I counted 222. I pulled the full list.
These are the 10 I would act on first if you run a Shopify DTC brand. The video's narration is my AI voice clone.
1. Sell inside Google AI Mode and Gemini. Buyers check out in the chat. Run the new Catalog eligibility check first.
2. Rollouts. Theme, prices, discount, and checkout in one scheduled launch. Catalog prices roll back on their own when the sale ends.
3. Fraud and chargebacks. Shopify says Protect features are "rolling out soon." Check your admin. Proof of delivery now gets attached to "never arrived" disputes for you.
I have written a book on growing a Shopify brand profitably, the Rapid 2X Protocol. It's yours, complimentary. The link is in the reply.
4. Sidekick now suggests store changes it already tested in SimGym. Use it to pick which change to make first.
5. Sign in with Shop on Klaviyo forms. Unused codes now wait in the shopper's Shop account.
6. Keep your current processor and add Shopify Payments next to it. Check fees and eligibility, then add Shop Pay.
7. Shop Campaigns in 35+ new markets. You only pay when an ad drives a sale.
8. Shop Promise badge. Products with it rank higher in search in the Shop app and Shopify Catalog.
9. Checkout: Apple Pay in any browser and stacked fields (coming soon). Payment tiles and custom fields like gift messages (rolling out soon).
10. WhatsApp recovery for browse, cart, and checkout. Collect consent at checkout first.
Warning: Shopify now filters bots out of sessions. Your conversion rate may jump with no change in sales. Note the date.
Which one is already live in your admin? Reply and tell me.
The video shows each one in under 7 minutes, with Shopify visuals and branded explainers.

Gemini 4 Carbon. Can't wait to run through it in all my Shopify workflows to see how it does against Opus 5.5 and GPT 6.1 Sol.
I did say we'd be releasing our models periodically...introducing Gemini 4 Carbon, our next frontier model.
Following Argon's release just two weeks ago, Carbon shows the pace at which we’re pushing the frontier, it ranks #1 on the recently updated v5.0 of @ArtificialAnlys Intelligence Index at 59. It also leads across key cybersecurity evaluations scoring 88.2% on SEC-bench Pro for finding vulnerabilities, 54.8% on ExploitGym for exploitation, and 71.0% on CWE-bench for patching.
We’re seeing significant improvements in long-horizon tasks even compared to Argon, and we’ve strengthened frontier safeguards.
As we did with Argon, we’re going to roll it out gradually + responsibly. Some trusted cyber defenders will get access starting this week. We'll be expanding it to more partners through our Fairwind Program, ahead of wider availability soon, so hang tight!
Waiting for Grok 4.8 or Grok 5! Come on @elonmusk make it happen. – at Village of the Branch, NY
Codex CLI daily optimization QoL request: /compact takes up to 7-8 minutes. On other CLIs, this is usually completed in 2-3 minutes max. Please optimize it @thsottiaux
After extensive testing this past weekend, Deepseek V4.1 Flash 1017 via @CommandCodeAI has been added on MAX effort as deepseek-auditor to my AI coding workflow. – at Village of the Branch, NY
My latest ai audit workflow.
Claude Code
- Sonnet 5.5 on HIGH (sonnet-orchestrator)
- Haiku 5.5 on MAX (haiku-worker for basic ops)
- Opus 5.5 on HIGH (opus-auditor)
- GPT 6.1 Sol on HIGH (sol-auditor)
Sonnet, Opus and Sol can utilize haiku-worker (up to 10 subagents in parallel for basic ops).
PASS is when the auditors hit 85+/100 in max 3 rounds.
FAIL after 3 rounds prompts if another round is needed.
This helps maximize the $100/mo plans on Claude and Codex.
Plus, I found that running AI workflows and agentic coding on Fedora or Omachy (both linux) is 3X-10X faster than running them on my macOS. Primary suspect Apple APFS vs Linux EXFS. Also corraborated by tests by @theo in his YT video when he ran similar deep dive tests.
My Claude Code/Codex workflow:
Claude Code CLI:
Sonnet 5.5 HIGH Orchestrator & All writes
Haiku 5.5 HIGH Worker for Basic Ops
Opus 5.5 HIGH (opus-auditor) = Read-only
GPT-Sol-6.1 HIGH (sol-auditor) via Codex CLI = Read-only
Sonnet 5.5 Fixes all verified gaps from both auditors
This weekend, I added:
Deepseek-v4.1-Flash-1017 via CommandCode CLI (deepseek-auditor)
Note that sol-auditor is slow but extremely diligent and worth the wait.
Haiku, Opus, Sol, and Deepseek run as subagents.
My coding plans are:
- Claude Code $100/mo
- Codex $100/mo
- CommandCode $10/mo

Deepseek V4.1 Flash 1017 from @deepseek_ai has proven its worth to be added as deepseek-auditor running as a subagent in my claude code coding and analytics workflows. I am using the GOAT plan from @CommandCodeAI that gives $80/month deepseek credit for the $10/mo plan. I am additionally testing it for basic-ops to replace Haiku 5.5 from my workflow.

This is extremely smart. Thank you @thsottiaux – at Village of the Branch, NY
Deepseek V4.1 Flash 1017 update came out. I am testing it against Shopify-related workflows for Rapid 2X. – at Village of the Branch, NY
I tried to add muse-auditor (tried both wonder and wonder full models) and argon-auditor. Neither passed the coding/workflows tests. For full transparency, argon did not pass. Muse models ran out of my monthly subscriptions even before completing the first iteration. – at Village of the Branch, NY
Opus 5.5 + GPT 6.1 Sol - Both on HIGH efforts. Best pairing for coding and workflows.
Haiku 5.5 for basic ops to be utilized for both higher end models.
Sonnet 5.5 can do some grunt work but Opus / Sol need to validate.
Friday closing thoughts for the weekend. – at Village of the Branch, NY
Switching my self-developed Mac app from gpt-live-1 to gpt-live-1.1 to test. – at Village of the Branch, NY
If you are actively using Sonnet 5.5 on HIGH effort in Claude Code but see that you have only used 50% of your weekly usage and it expires tomorrow, do you switch to Opus 5.5 on HIGH effort to make sure that you are using 100% of your weekly usage? I do. My weekly expires Fridays at 2AM ET. Wednesday through Thursday night is full throttle. LOL. – at Village of the Branch, NY
Given the latest AI benchmarks, if @OpenAI speeds up gpt-6.1-sol tokens/sec output speed, I think hands down it would be the best model today when you consider intelligence, cost per task and speed. @sama @thsottiaux
First impression:
$30/mo Grok plan barely runs out using all my workflows
Same for $100/mo Claude and $100/mo Codex plans.
But $50/mo Muse Code plan ran out of 5 hours using barely 45 minutes of usage with Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full. – at Village of the Branch, NY
Muse is out of quota: the retry returned API error 429, Subscription quota exhausted, usage window resets 2026-10-13T23:54:02Z. @alexandr_wang – at Village of the Branch, NY
Currently testing Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full to see if this orchestrator/worker/auditor workflow needs to be updated with Muse @alexandr_wang – at Village of the Branch, NY
Testing Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full with the $50/mo plan on these workflows:
1. Inbox/Calendar Review | Muse Wonder
2. Shopify Holiday Readiness Sprint from Rapid 2X | Muse Wonder Full
3. Live Session Notes from Zoom VTT/MP4
4. Upsidia SaaS app Full Deep Audit to Find gaps after sol/opus confirmed all closed gaps
5. Android Games = Sudoku + Word Find for gaps and optimizations
