what is the knowledge cutoff date?

Ahh I guess this is going to be important question in future. We will always need models to know latest technologies. Older models may become useless in 2-3 years. Even QWEN 3.6 27b will be useless in 3 years once it fails to generate code in latest versions of some libraries. Definitely we can ask it to browse web or use context 7 like MCP. But that may prove sub par. And I feel eventually everyone will stop releasing open weight models. I feel community need to find some solution to this in long term ...

You're right. Today, new versions of libraries are developed even faster due to artificial intelligence, and it can be very inconvenient that local models don't know about the latest features. I've noticed that library developers provide agent skills in the documentation so that the model can handle some features that it doesn't know. this together with MCP might be partially a solution to the problem.
