> Does Gemini have a date cutoff at all?

Not sure about Gemini specifically (it’s so new!) but Google has previously said that bard is updated daily with current news and information.

Obviously Google has potential advantages being able to lean into their indexes so the raw model doesn’t need to embed/train against things like GitHub issues. I wonder if we’ll see LLM-optimized websites with built-in prompts to replace SEO websites.

from what I remember bard should be able to browse the internet and write code internally to better answer queries. I feel like these abilities are just improved with Gemini as a better language model.

This is true. When Gemini came out, I tried asking it to help me shop for an electric car with NACS and it glitched and dumped a python script to filter a list of electric cars with a list of NACS cars.

I was surprised it used python to answer “which of those previously mentioned cars has NACS”.
