  "account": "European retailers are leveraging NVIDIA's open models and physical intelligence to enhance both their digital and physical operations. From cutting inference costs by 90% at a commerce platform to simulating collaboration among different robotic fleets in a fulfillment center, the technology is transforming the retail landscape across Europe. Retail leaders and tech companies are utilizing NVIDIA-accelerated open and frontier models to drive agentic commerce, digital product discovery, and retail research and development. Shopify, for instance, has post-trained NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Lightning for its GraphQL subagent integrated into Sidekick, its AI assistant for merchants. This post-trained model delivers responses 7 times faster and cuts serving costs by 90% compared to a leading frontier model. Zooplus, a leading online pet retailer, has rebuilt its product discovery stack using NVIDIA Nemotron Retriever and Blueprint for retail catalog enrichment, achieving 86% search accuracy. Photoroom, a retouching service, has standardized over 40,000 product images daily across 70 countries, resulting in a 5% higher liquidity rate for listings. L'Oréal has integrated NVIDIA ALCHEMI into its research workflow, accelerating ingredient discovery from months to hours. Mirakl, a software company for intelligent commerce, runs open models on NVIDIA GPUs, ensuring technology sovereignty and avoiding vendor lock-in. Physical intelligence, including digital twins and NVIDIA's CUDA, OptiX, and TensorRT, enables simulation of retail environments, warehouse automation, and virtual try-on experiences, all designed to optimize operations for European retailers and fashion brands.",
  "summary": "European retailers are using open models and physical intelligence across use cases — from a commerce platform cutting inference costs by 90% to to a fulfillment center where collaboration of different robotic fleets is simulated inside a digital twin.
