With API you can choose versions fixed to a date. Are you suggesting that OpenAI is lying about these being fixed to a date?

Why would they lie about it?

The whole point of these versions is so that when you build on top of that it would keep working as you expect.

I'm not saying they lie about it, but as a hypothetical there could be many reasons to lie.

- realizing their model leaks confidential information against malicious prompts

- copyright claims against them forcing them to remove bits of data from the training set

- serious "alignment" bugs that need to be fixed

- vastly improved optimization techniques that slightly affect results in 0.1% of the cases

If updating the model would save the company a couple hundred million dollars, they might want to do it. And in some of the cases, I can imagine they have an incentive to keep the update low key.
