I don't know why this keeps coming up. This has always been the least reliable way to know the cutoff date (and indeed, it may well have been trained on sites with comments like these!)

Just ask it about an event that happened shortly before Dec 1, 2025. Sporting event, preferably.

the model obviously knows things after the reported date but its just curious that it reports that date consistently

could be they do it intentionally to encourage more tool calls/searches or for tuning reasons
