The Chinese to English translation responds to 你是一个大型语言模型吗？”Are you a large language model?” with (Yes, I am a large language model.). It also claims the year is 2024 and seems to answer other questions consistently with this. So at least some models are relatively recent.
Gemini 2.0 Flash-Lite has a training cutoff of August 2024, and the 2.5 update — of January 2025. When checked in AI Studio, both models quite consistently output that they believe the current year is 2024, although 2.0 Flash-Lite occasionally stated 2023. I think 2.5 Flash-Lite is the most obvious candidate!
As a side note, it’s reasonable to believe that both Flash-Lite models are related to Gemma models but I’m not sure which ones in particular, and there doesn’t appear to be good estimates of param counts
