Training cutoff
Definition
Training cutoff is the date after which a model has no built-in knowledge.
The practical consequence
Content published after a model\'s cutoff can only reach it through retrieval. For a site publishing current demographic figures, that makes retrieval optimisation the immediate lever and training-data presence the slow one.
