SuperOps Launches Agentic AI Marketplace Partnering with AWS
To drive innovation and implementation across the MSP and IT ecosystem, SuperOps also unveiled two flagship community-driven initiatives:
SuperOps Agentic AI Community: An interactive hub where MSPs, IT leaders, and developers can exchange ideas, access resources, and collaborate on advancing agentic AI.
SuperHack Hackathon (Powered by AWS): A global developer challenge inviting participants to build autonomous agents for real-world IT use cases. Winning submissions will be featured in the Marketplace, with a total prize pool of up to $100,000 USD.
'This launch marks a significant turning point for the IT industry,' said Arvind Parthiban, CEO and Co founder of SuperOps."We're giving MSPs a way to tap into real, autonomous AI that can solve their day-to-day challenges and help them stay ahead. Partnering with AWS makes it possible to scale this across the industry and bring powerful, usable agents into the hands of teams that need them now."
The launch was celebrated with a 200-drone rooftop light show hosted by SuperOps at Resorts World Las Vegas, where MSPs, developers, and industry analysts gathered for an exclusive preview of the company's vision for AI in IT.
The announcement comes at a pivotal moment for the industry. While interest in AI is at an all-time high, many MSPs still struggle to move beyond the conceptual stages and translate that enthusiasm into action. According to a recent Canalys poll, 61% of partners still struggle to advance AI initiatives beyond the proof-of-concept stage with customers, highlighting a significant gap between experimentation and large-scale deployment. SuperOps aims to bridge that gap.
The SuperOps ecosystem is designed to move the industry past experimentation by offering:
A community to foster learning and collaboration
A challenge to stimulate and surface innovation
A marketplace to safely, effectively, and profitably deploy and monetize AI
AWS provides a framework for building AI agents and product features, and with AWS powering global scalability, performance, and reliability, SuperOps is set to accelerate how the MSP community builds and operationalizes AI agents in practice.
Developers, MSPs, IT pros, and leaders are invited to join the Agentic AI Community —whether to participate in the SuperHack Hackathon or to mentor the participating teams.

Accord Announces Amendment to its Banking Facility
TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Accord Financial Corp. (TSX – ACD) today announced it has amended its senior secured revolving credit facility (the 'Credit Facility'), extending the maturity date to December 15, 2025. This amendment follows two recent short-term extensions: the first announced on July 25, 2025, and the second on August 8, 2025, which extended the maturity date to August 15, 2025. Under the new terms, the total commitment will be reduced from $260 million to $200 million. The amendment also incorporates milestones tied to potential asset sales (with net proceeds to be used to repay bank indebtedness), increases the interest rate on drawn amounts by 1.00%, and updates certain financial covenants. 'While the amendment includes higher pricing and a reduced commitment, the extension provides time for the Company to continue to actively pursue a broad range of strategic initiatives to address the Company's maturing debt obligations (totalling $217.6 million as at June 30, 2025 and coming due by January 31, 2026) and maximize shareholder value,' said Mr. Hitzig. 'These include potential divestitures of portfolio assets or business units, as well as other financing alternatives. The Company continues to work closely with its financial advisors, but there is no assurance that these initiatives will yield a successful result. While we focus on these initiatives, profitable operating performance and growth will continue to be a challenge.' The Company does not plan to provide further updates on its strategic initiatives unless material developments emerge. A Material Change Report and the amended Credit Facility agreement will be filed on SEDAR+ at About Accord Financial Corp.

The Slow Death of the Contemporary Art Gallery
The contemporary art gallery as we know it is dying. In cities like New York and Los Angeles, dedicated spaces that once buzzed with foot traffic and formal openings are now struggling with rising rents and changing expectations. The old model, where a gallery does everything for its artists, feels like it's falling apart. Big gallery chains, the ones built on endless art fairs, multiple cities and huge rosters of artists, are losing their grip. Last month, Tim Blum announced he would close his Blum & Poe galleries in L.A. and Tokyo and even stop plans for a new one in Tribeca. He was blunt about the reason: 'This is not about the market. This is about the system,'he told ARTnews, pointing out that collectors have more power than ever to negotiate. His decision echoes a wider feeling across the industry with many giving up on the idea of building giant gallery empires. You can see this shift happening at major events. The latestArt Baselconfirmed that galleries are showing more mid-priced work, not just the massive, ultra-expensive pieces they once counted on. A recentreport from Art Basel and UBSshowed that while the overall art market shrank last year, the number of actual sales went up. It's a clear signal that the business is no longer just about a small group of big spenders, it's now about reaching a wider audience at lower price points. 'The old model was built on scarcity and prestige. The new one runs on access and attention.' A significant force behind this change is the shifting demand for different types of art. The once-dominant 'blue-chip' artists, masters whose work commanded staggering prices, are no longer the only game in town. Collectors are increasingly turning their attention to 'red-chip' artists, a new class of talents whose value is built on viral hype and cultural relevance rather than institutional endorsement. These artists are attractive for two main reasons: their work is often more accessible and affordable, and it brings fresh, diverse cultural perspectives that feel relevant and exciting to a global audience. This hunger for new voices and unconventional methods is reshaping the market. A key example isOlaolu Slawn, a London-based artist who sold out his solo show,I present to you, Slawn, at the Saatchi Yates gallery in 2024 by creating and selling 1,000 individual, more accessible pieces, an approach that challenges the fine art world's focus on scarcity and prestige. A separate but related trend sees celebrities entering the art market with their own work, often commanding high prices based on their fame. Actor Adrien Brody is a notable example. His art, which he described is about celebrating the little nuances in life has sold for significant amounts, as per a convo withInterview Magazine. For instance, a painting he created of Marilyn Monroe was sold at a Cannes gala auction for $425,000 USD, illustrating how star power can directly translate into commercial value. However, his work has drawn sharp criticism from the industry, with critics often labeling it as kitschy and derivative. One critic writing forARTnewsdescribed his work as having a 'faux naïve aesthetic' and 'mediocre production value,' while others have accused him of cheaply appropriating the styles of Jean-Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol. As the old guard shrinks, smaller galleries are finding new ways to thrive. In New York,Tiwa Galleryshows self-taught artists in a relaxed space, rejecting flashy Landddcombines Latin American crafts with immersive events. In L.A.,Marta galleryblends art and design right into everyday life. These new spaces care more about quiet, genuine connection than putting on a spectacle. Retail is also becoming a new kind of gallery. Stores like South Korea's Gentle Monster and London's Dover Street Market are blurring the lines between art and commerce, transforming shopping into an immersive cultural experience. Gentle Monster's stores are famous for their fantastical, ever-changing installations, from surreal kinetic sculptures to robotic figures that draw in visitors who are just as interested in the art as they are in the eyewear. Dover Street Market, founded by Comme des Garçons's Rei Kawakubo, is a 'beautiful chaos' where each brand and artist is given a dedicated space to create a unique installation, turning the store into a constantly evolving exhibition. By blending high-end retail with cutting-edge art and design these spaces offer a new kind of public access to creativity, making the gallery experience a part of a commercial transaction rather than a separate cultural outing. 'If your space is fueled by DJs and cocktails, maybe it isn't really a gallery anymore.' It's clear that going to a gallery is no longer the only way to see or buy art. Today, buyers can just scroll on their phones and purchase work directly from studios or social media. This instant access has replaced the slow dance of white-cube shows and champagne previews. Some galleries are trying to keep up, creating online art drops and hosting pop-ups in different retail spaces. But others are pushing back, as one veteran gallerist puts it: if your space is fueled by DJs and cocktails, maybe it isn't really a gallery anymore. Art isn't disappearing. It's just moving, becoming more accessible and less tied to one physical location. The old model was built on scarcity and prestige. The new one runs on access and attention. The question isn't whether galleries will survive, but which ones can change fast enough to matter.

Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN): Jim Cramer Maintains It Needs To Buy NVIDIA
We recently published . Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently discussed. Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) is struggling on the stock market lately as investors are worried about the growth prospects of its cloud computing division. The shares have gained a mere 1.4% over the past month, after they fell by 9.6% after the firm's second quarter earnings were accompanied by weak AWS growth. Cramer continues to maintain that Inc.

(NASDAQ:AMZN): 'We're in the era, this is what happens, The two big overhangs in this market had been Apple waiting for the sword of Damocles and Amazon, trading down because Amazon Web Services is viewed as a share donor.
