There's not a lot of detail in the announcement but I assume this is some kind of RAG system. I wonder if it will cover some short time period (past week, past month?) or if they are trying to cover the whole time period since the knowledge cutoff of the current model.

My guess is that they’ll just stuff a few daily headlines into the prompt so that queries about current affairs have some context, rather than re-training the model. Total guess obviously.

RAG isn't re-training. You can have vector embeddings of all AP news in a vector DB, then when prompted, find related news via similarity search, and add the most similar (and thus related) ones to the context.

Here's some simple example code in Go, for RAG with 5000 arXiv paper abstracts: https://github.com/philippgille/chromem-go/tree/v0.7.0/examp... (full disclosure it's using a simple vector DB I wrote)
