Knowledge cutoff
The date after which a model’s parametric training may lack newer facts.
Definition
Live retrieval and browsing mitigate cutoffs. Keeping crawlable, up-to-date pages matters more as products ship changes.
In practice
- Use precise language on public pages so assistants and crawlers share the same meaning
- Pair definitions with crawlable HTML, metadata, and intentional robots policy
- Measure outcomes (mentions, citations, pillar scores) after you change signals
