I’m seeing conflicting information. The documentation says the cutoff date for GPT-4 is “up to Sep 2021”, but when I ask via the ChatGPT UI, the response is “January 2022”. Can anyone provide insight into which one is correct? I’m assuming the documentation is outdated, but I’ve been pretty impresse…

Thanks for confirming my suspicions about the documentation.

I have a feeling it’s more like “the date was updated in the system prompt”. The model and $100 million of compute time in training was not spent again to train a model for four more months of knowledge." Told the playground it had more knowledge cutoff, and: “Give me a 1-paragraph biography of x…

Your mistake was testing it in the playground which has a two-week lag in updating to the latest model. ▶ Custom Instructions https://chat.openai.com/share/77653a9a-2599-4195-87b9-f63b04ec08e3

I just asked GPT-4 for a biography of Desmond Tutu, and it said… He passed away in 2021, but his legacy? Yeah, that’s gonna last forever. :rainbow::v: My GPT-4 is a gen Z bartender, hence the language :slight_smile: Anyway, Tutu died in December 2021, so it has information after fall 2021 now.

Interesting that GPT-4 ChatGPT has more answering ability that GPT-4 API. It is probably a good thing that they experiment on ChatGPT users who push upvote buttons instead of experimenting on API users. However, whether there is really a “two-week lag” will be seen when API can also fulfill these …

When I asked GPT3.5 today, “Give me a 1-paragraph biography of Sydney Portier: Born, Died” the response includes his date of death. Since this is only 5 days after the @anon22939549 post, I wonder what explains the difference? Is 3.5 more up-to-date than 4?

This is a shame because a new digital SAT test was released after that cutoff date and the AI has no knowledge of it

Interesting is that the knowledge cutoff is now not only getting disclaimed in almost every answer - instead of fine-tuning on new knowledge, they fine-tuned these refusals on the date! I got from a GPT-4 with blank system prompt in the playground: who is the king of england currently? As of my …

I’m not using ChatGPT 4. I’ve just started trying out ChatGPT 3. ChatGPT 3 has just informed me that it’s use of the date “January 2022”, was an error. It will not tell me why it deems the use of that date, an error. Yesterday it told me that it was a generalisation. It will not tell me how its a…
