Yeah, great point about Gopher, we noticed the same thing and included a note to that effect in Gopher’s entry in the tracker.
I agree there’s reason to believe this sort of delay could become a bigger factor in the future, and may already be a factor now. If we see this pattern develop further (and if folks start publishing “model cards” more consistently like DM did, which gave us the date of Gopher’s training) we probably will begin to include training date as separate from publication date. But for now, it’s a possible trend to keep an eye on.

Thanks again!
