Example 1

user: What is the cutoff date for Phi training data?
phi-4: As a large language model, my training data includes information up until October 2023. This means I can provide information and insights based on developments and knowledge available up to that point. It's important to stay updated with the latest sources for the most current developments beyond this date.

Example 2

phi-4: As of my last update, my training data includes information up to October 2023. This means I can provide information and insights based on knowledge available up to that date. If you have questions about developments or events beyond this time, I recommend consulting more current resources. How else may I assist you today?
