It's just marketing.

It is not a protected term, so anything is state-of-the-art if you want it to be.

For example, Gemma models at the moment of release were performing worse their competition, but still, it is "state-of-the-art". It does not mean it's a bad product at all (Gemma is actually good), but the claims are very free.

Juicero was state-of-the-art on release too, though hands were better, etc.

The scale. How many tools do you know that can query the content of all arxiv papers.

First, so best in this?

The tool is state of the art, the sources are historical.
