Workers at the nonprofit New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) are moving to unionize through Local 2110 of the United Auto Workers (UAW). Never before in NYFA’s history have its workers led such an initiative. The nonprofit offers grants to artists and institutions, though it is even more well-known in the New York art world for the classifieds section of its website. Staff members there said they decided to push for unionization due to a lack of transparency, unfair wages, and unsustainable working conditions.

After this summer’s weak job market performance, some career experts are hoping that fall will bring more opportunities for job seekers.There’s a popular belief that the job market kicks into high gear in early autumn, commonly known as the “September surge.”According to Katie Martocchio, senior talent acquisition manager at software company Prompt, the month of September brings a spike in productivity for employers and job seekers alike.Coasting off of fall’s “back-to-school energy,” companies start “getting back into the groove” after Labor Day, she says, and year-end goals become top of mind.“Now is the time that we can onboard someone, and…
Patrizia Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, one of the top art collectors in Europe, will collaborate with New York’s New Museum for a series of commissions, with the first set to be done by Diego Marcon, an Italian artist known for his uncanny videos. The New Museum is currently undergoing a renovation and expansion, and is slated to open this fall, though it has not yet announced an opening date. It closed last spring to begin adding a seven-story annex to its home on Manhattan’s Bowery. “Collaborating with other institutions has always been a characteristic of my foundation,” Sandretto Re Rebaudengo told…
Perplexity AI has reportedly offered $34.5 billion in cash to acquire Chrome from Alphabet-owned Google, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday.

The Louvre was partially open this afternoon, while the Musée d’Orsay, the Musée Delacroix and the Arc de Triomphe were among the arts locations closed today due to the strikes.

Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) has achieved remarkable success in enhancing the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs). However, existing RLVR methods often suffer from exploration inefficiency due to mismatches between the training data’s difficulty and the model’s capability. LLMs fail to discover viable reasoning paths when problems are overly difficult, while learning little new capability when problems are too simple. In this work, we formalize the impact of problem difficulty by quantifying the relationship between loss descent speed and rollout accuracy. Building on this analysis, we propose SEELE, a novel supervision-aided RLVR framework that dynamically adjusts problem…
K2 Think has 32B parameters What’s the story The Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) in the United Arab Emirates has launched a new artificial intelligence (AI) model called K2 Think. The low-cost reasoning model is aimed at taking on industry giants such as OpenAI and DeepSeek. Unlike DeepSeek’s R1 model with a whopping 671 billion parameters, K2 Think is much smaller at just 32 billion parameters. K2 Think developed using Alibaba’s Qwen 2.5 model Despite its smaller size, MBZUAI claims that K2 Think matches the performance of flagship models from US and Chinese companies. The model was…
