They pre-train with all data up to 1900 and then fine-tune with 1900-1913 data.
Where does it say that? I tried to find more detail. Thanks.

See pretraining section of the prerelease_notes.md:

I was curious, they train a 1900 base model, then fine tune to the exact year:
"To keep training expenses down, we train one checkpoint on data up to 1900, then continuously pretrain further checkpoints on 20B tokens of data 1900-${cutoff}$. "
