Yes, that is the major problem with LLMs in general. There is no solution aside from "train on another different source (like Reddit)", but then we rinse & repeat.
There is a solution: RLVR
I guess, though I'm pretty ignorant as to how RLVR would fix the issue that arises from new coding languages or even new major versions. I'm not sure how LLMs would ever get to a correct answer if they don't have good reference material to start from or reference.
The assumption seems to be that an LLM can't figure out a manual or source code. If it can't, then you have to pay people. But that's not a universally valid assumption.
