GPT-OSS 120B: "Yes—the next calendar year after 2025 is 2026."

Good.

LLama 4 Scout: "To determine if 2026 is next year, we need to consider the current year. As of my knowledge cutoff, the current year is 2024.

If we assume the current year is 2024, then:

    2025 would be next year.
    2026 would be the year after next.

However, if the current year is 2025, then:

    2026 would indeed be next year.

Could you please clarify or provide the current year for a more accurate response?"

Me: this is year 2025

LLama 4 Scout: "With 2025 being the current year, that means:

    2026 is indeed next year.

So, the answer is yes, 2026 is next year."

Fair enough.

Llama 3.1 8b: "No, 2024 is the current year. 2026 will be two years from now."

That was expected.

Qwen 3 32b: "No, 2026 is not next year. Here's the breakdown:

    Current year: 2023  
    Next year: 2024  
    The year after that: 2025  
    2026 will occur two years after 2024.

So, 2026 is two years away from the current date (October 2023). Let me know if you meant something else by "next year"! "

I wasn't expecting that.
