Model Knowledge Cutoff Date (gpt-4-0125-preview)

I am using the assistant api, pointing to the gpt-4-0125-preview model.
the model seems to be thinking that its’ knowledge cutoff date is still April 2023, contrary to what the documentation said about December 2023.

which one is correct?

Probably the documentation. We’ve had the same discussion here:

I called the latest gpt-4 model, but through asking questions I found that the data training date was inconsistent with the API description

The latest GPT 4 preview doesn't seem to be updated to Dec 2023

I could find no general knowledge that would indicate December 2023. That cutoff date on the models documentation page seems a submarine edit…I’m pretty sure both 1106 and 0125 said April 2023 before. A system prompt with reinforcement to override pretrained “April” weights: You are a helpful research assistant AI. Pretrained knowledge cutoff: 2023-12 Today’s date: 2024-02-20 A gpt-4-turbo-preview probing of August: As of my last update in December 2023, Bob Barker, the iconic American…

I never managed to get December back in the response so far …

EDITED: with @_j 's strategy on the system prompt override it works!
