🛒 ChatGPT Launches Instant Checkout with ACP

OpenAI has introduced Instant Checkout inside ChatGPT, powered by the Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP) built with Stripe. The feature starts in the U.S. with Etsy sellers and Shopify merchants joining soon. This marks OpenAI’s move from product discovery into actual commerce, turning ChatGPT into a direct shopping channel.

The Shift:

1. Direct In-Chat Purchases – Users can now complete Etsy orders without leaving ChatGPT, with payment via Apple Pay, Google Pay, Stripe, or stored cards. Shopify’s 1M+ merchants, including Glossier and SKIMS, will follow next.

2. Merchant-Controlled Fulfillment – ChatGPT acts only as an intermediary, while sellers handle orders, payments, and customer support with their existing systems. This ensures brands retain ownership of the customer relationship.

3. Open Standard for Integration – The Agentic Commerce Protocol is open-sourced, works across payment processors, and allows Stripe merchants to activate in one line of code. Others can connect via APIs with no backend overhaul.

4. Secure and Unbiased Shopping – Product results remain organic and unsponsored, payments are encrypted, and merchants only pay a small transaction fee. Data sharing is minimal and fully permission-based.

In-chat checkout could shift online shopping away from search engines and e-commerce giants toward conversational agents. With Perplexity and Microsoft pushing similar features, and Amazon and Google guarding their dominance, the race to control discovery and checkout is intensifying, and OpenAI now has its own foothold.

Step 1: Choose Motion: Log into Higgsfield → Go to Video → Animate. Pick from preset camera motions (pans, zooms, tracking shots) to define how your scene should move.

Step 2: Add Your Image: Upload a product photo or generate one inside Higgsfield. This becomes the anchor visual for your ad.

Step 3: Generate the Video: Click Generate and let Higgsfield animate your image with cinematic motion. In minutes, you’ll have a high-quality ad-ready video clip.

Instead of static product shots or stock reels, you can now build branded video ads from a single image, complete with smooth, repeatable camera moves that feel professionally shot. Perfect for spec ads, DTC campaigns, and UGC-style creative that looks like it came from a studio.

 🚀 Claude Sonnet 4.5: Anthropic’s New Frontier Model

Anthropic has unveiled Claude Sonnet 4.5, branding it the world’s strongest coding and agentic AI model. It introduces major developer upgrades, an Agent SDK, and new safety measures, all while keeping the same API pricing as Sonnet 4.

The Shift:

1. Top-Tier Coding & Reasoning: Sonnet 4.5 scored state-of-the-art on SWE-bench Verified and led OSWorld at 61.4%, up from Sonnet 4’s 42.2%. The model also shows major improvements in reasoning, math, and professional domains like law, finance, medicine, and STEM.

2. Long-Horizon Performance: In testing, Sonnet 4.5 maintained 30+ hour coding sessions, generating over 11,000 lines of code — a leap over GPT-5-Codex’s 7-hour runs. This unlocks complex, multi-step workflows that were previously out of reach.

3. Developer Ecosystem Upgrades: Anthropic added Claude Code checkpoints, memory and context editing in the API, a native VS Code extension, and a Claude for Chrome extension. Developers now also have access to the Claude Agent SDK, the same infrastructure Anthropic uses internally.

4. Bonus Preview – Imagine with Claude: A 5-day research preview called Imagine with Claude allows Max users to see real-time software generation with Sonnet 4.5, showcasing its live adaptability.

Sonnet 4.5 is not just another model upgrade; it signals the arrival of agentic AI capable of running for days, coding entire systems, and operating inside real-world tools. With its SDK, Anthropic is handing developers the same building blocks it uses internally, potentially shifting how AI agents are built and deployed across industries.
