The second line of Claude's system prompt contains the date and time. I wonder if they update the cache every minute then. And if it wouldn't have made more sense to put it at the bottom, and cache everything above it.
- JimDabell 1y agoThat’s a good point, however what it actually says is: > The current date is {{currentDateTime}}. The prose part refers to the date alone. The variable name is ambiguous. Although it says currentDateTime, in Python even though there’s a date class, it’s pretty common to use datetime objects even if all you need is the date. So depending on how that’s formatted, it could include the time, or it could just be the date.
