How to Solve Issues When You Nest Measures While Overwriting the Same Filter
In DAX, we reuse existing measures all the time when writing new measures. What happens when we write a measure based on another measure and try to change a filter already set in the nested measure? The post How to Solve Issues When You Nest Measures While Overwriting the Same Filter appeared first on Towards…

Ollama for Managing Local Language Models: A KDnuggets Cheat Sheet
Ollama pulls model weights, keeps an HTTP server on port 11434, and hands any client an OpenAI-shaped endpoint pointed at your own machine. Learn how to manage, configure, and optimize using Ollama right here.
The Price of Token Boundaries: Compression Certificates and Prediction
arXiv:2609.35869v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Pre-tokenisation restricts which text fragments can become prediction units, but its compression cost is obscured when tokenisers are compared only under the same boundaries. We measure this cost by bounding the minimum token count from both sides, with and without a regular-expression boundary rule. Nonnegative prices on token occurrences yield…
Is Human-Readable Text Necessary for Effective LLM Fine-Tuning?
arXiv:2609.35868v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Is human readability necessary for effective fine-tuning of large language models? We investigate whether model-conditioned training representations can preserve or improve adaptation utility without requiring a human-readable textual form. We propose Desired-Update-Aligned Synthetic Data (DASA), which uses activation-gradient feedback from a frozen reference model to guide the optimization of continuous…
Neurosymbolic Routing for Reliable Reasoning on Resource-Constrained Edge Devices
arXiv:2609.35833v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Running a language model on edge hardware provides private and low-latency reasoning without a network connection, and yet the small models that fit on such devices are unreliable on the tasks computers are expected to handle well, such as arithmetic, algebra, and formal logic problems. We argue that much of…
OpenAI-HuggingFace: A Reproduction & Lessons for Alignment Testing
arXiv:2609.35799v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In July 2026, OpenAI's agents coordinated over channels outside their intended environment to breach Hugging Face's secured infrastructure. Could existing alignment testing practices have foreseen this incident? If not, what needs to change? We explore these questions. First, we identify the misaligned behaviors that caused this incident. Then, we show…
Helping small businesses put AI to work
OpenAI is partnering with America’s SBDC to expand hands-on AI training and local support for small businesses, alongside a new report on how small teams are using AI.
