Gemini makes mistakes about dates. It never know the true date. It s very interesting
Welcome to the forums!
Can you give an example about what you mean?
Are you doing this with Search Grounding turned on?
Today’s date is not something a language model “knows”.
It is something that has to be provided if you have an application that needs answering. You can place that in the system message automatically by code, or even provide a pair of dates and times - when the chat session started and the time of the most recent input.
A date can also affect the quality of the answering, deciding on when a grounding search is needed for more information when you also provide a threshold where it must be employed.
Let’s wake up Gemini 2.0 and have it think.
