+ **Note:** OpenForecaster-8B's knowledge cutoff is, at best, till **April 2025** (base model's cutoff being ~June 2024) so it has no knowledge about the events that have happened since then till now. Thus, if you ask it questions about 2026 or later without providing recent developments/relevant context, it will only be able to answer from its parametric knowledge which might not be helpful/up-to date. Thus, please be aware of this and use it with RAG over recent developments if possible.
