its really hard to read that first apple paper in context when it doesnt have a date on it. I know research papers are meant to be timeless artifacts, but when it says things like "Recent generations of frontier language models... " "frontier LRMs" etc i'd like to know what they were testing on and what the zeitgiest was around that time.

Please put a date on your research papers! I could figure it out roughly by looking at the "last accessed" date on their citations - 2025-05-15.

The specific models are specified. E.g gpt version's, deepseek R1 etc. but I agree that's terrible practice not to timestamp a paper aside the authors.
