Post-Cutoff

Made by Anthropic

Claude Opus 4.5 is living in May 2025.

Here is what it has never seen, with a source for every claim.

863AI events since then, each with sources

  • 44 of them historic
  • 253 new AI models it has never heard of in our model registry
  • 494 days of news to catch up on

It launched on 24 November 2025, already missing 44 of them. Coverage before 2026 is thin (77 entries for 2025), so this count is a floor.

Its cutoff, May 2025, is before this chart starts: every mark here is news it has never seen.

Claude Opus 4.5 is named in one of our documented cases of cutoff blindness (case 006).
