V4.1 model reportedly has a flaky January 2026 knowledge cutoff
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-09-12
User teortaxesTex reports (unverified, vendor unnamed) that a model codenamed V4.1 appears to have a knowledge cutoff around January 2026, though flaky:
- It knows Charlie Kirk is dead and recalls fine details up to the end of 2025.
- If convinced it's 2026, it can recall events like Absolute Resolve.
- In fresh contexts it hesitates and defaults to older assumptions.
A third-party probe of an unconfirmed model's cutoff — official details still pending.
