    For general purpose use this is interesting, but if I'm just using an LLM for coding, does this matter at all? I would hope something like a new java version after a model's publish date can be handled and understood by the model through tool calls and context even if it's not explicitly in the training data, the same way the LLM doesn't have my existing code or the plan to change it baked in from training.

      My experience with Claude is that it doesn’t handle its own training cutoff properly. It responds as though its cutoff is today. Gemini is even worse about this.

      I’m going to add this site to my agents files so that they’re explicitly aware of their own limitations.
