Could Gemini get right time on it self? It keep telling me that it’s 2024-06-28!
Welcome to the forum.
The date it gave you is fiction. When it isn’t hallucinating some date, it will answer with something similar to this: “I do not have access to real-time information, including the current date and time. To get the current year, please check a calendar or use a device with a clock.”
A recent experiment using the cookbook at cookbook/examples/Search_Wikipedia_using_ReAct.ipynb at main · google-gemini/cookbook · GitHub indicates that the Gemini 1.5 models are using November 2023, their training data cutoff time, as ‘now’ when they are asked to use ‘now’ in a calculation. In that cookbook, the model is asked about the ages of the actors. As is, it gets the ages off by one year, making the actors younger, which is what they would be in 2023.
The model will accept any time the user specifies as ‘now’ through the prompt.
Hello, do you know an official source of the fact that the training data cutoff time is November 2023?
Yes, each model comes with a model card. Google models have their model cards here Google Model Cards and you can find basically all model cards on huggingface. The training cutoff date is one of the data points you will always find on the model cards.
Thanks for your answer! I just checked the model card for the Gemini 1.5 model, but I somehow cant find any entry that specifies the cutoff date.
The last line of the table under the heading Specifications in
But wait, that says “Up to May 2024”. Which is accurate.
And so is regurgitated information like this: Gemini 1.5 Pro Model Card, that says November 2023. The same model has the -001 and -002 released versions, the earlier cutoff date applies to the lower numbered -nnn postfix to the model name.
Edit: I see the point of your question now. My earlier post applied to the at that time one and only available 1.5 model, the -002 had not yet been released and there was no need to have a -001 to distinguish it. It can get confusing.
Thank you, that is very helpful.
