A new project called 'How Stale Is Your AI?' compiles release dates and training cutoffs for 20 models from 8 major labs, sorted from stalest to freshest. It finds that only 9 of the 20 models have a training cutoff date that is actually published by their maker, with data also offered as a downloadable models.json file.
An Android Authority contributor describes a personal effort to reduce dependence on Google after growing frustrated with the company's push to inject Gemini AI features across its products. The writer began by testing search alternatives like DuckDuckGo and Startpage before settling on the paid search engine Kagi, while acknowledging some Google products remain hard to replace and older hardware will stay in use.
Keenable has released SELECT, an MCP server that lets an agent query the web using DuckDB SELECT statements instead of clicking through search results. The tool combines web search and fetch operators with semantic extraction functions inside SQL, filtering pages with exact WHERE clauses before sending only surviving rows to an LLM for field extraction. Each generated report links to the full trajectory of queries, tool calls, and result sets used to build it.
