How stale is your AI? Data checked 2026-09-16. Two dates decide how current an AI model really is: the release date and the training cutoff. This page holds both for 20 current models across 8 labs, counting upward live. 10 of 20 models have a cutoff their lab actually publishes. The live version needs JavaScript for counters, but dates are below, and the same data is available as models.json.

The shelf: release date and training cutoff, stalest first. Every model name links to the lab document the date came from.
