If I ask Grok about anything that occurred this morning, he immediately starts reading and researching in real time. "Summarize what Leavitt said this morning." "Tell me what's new in python 3.14." Etc.. What do you mean by "cutoff", it seems unlikely that Claude is that limited.

LLMs don't "choose" to do anything. They inference weights. Text is an extremely limiting medium, and doesn't afford LLMs the distinction between fiction and reality.

Because LLMs do not have a model of the world. They can only make more words. They can't compare their own output to any objective reality.
