Knowledge cutoff

Also called: training cutoff, cutoff date, knowledge cutoff date, training data cutoff, cut-off date

The date where a model's training data ends. The model may not know about anything after it unless the product supplies current information, for example through a web search.

For example: A founder asks a model about a law passed last month. The model's training data ended before that, so it describes the old rule unless it searches the web.
