While them fixing token bloat on 3.5 Flash is good work. That paragraph was the real highlight.

Hopefully 3.5 Pro is soon, and that Gemini 4 can be here end of year and finally have an updated knowledge cutoff.

What is a “knowledge cutoff” ?

—Ah, got it, it knows more about recent times.

I’d just like to add, and this may interest you both, that I’m not disagreeing with either of you. When 3.5 Flash first showed up in AI Studio, its model card said it had a March 2026 knowledge cutoff. After the backlash over it apparently knowing nothing past December 2024, the card was changed to read: “Knowledge cutoff: Unknown.” Maybe the timing was coincidental, but I doubt it.
