I’m excited to see more companies building on the fact that memory is a moat. And as Noam said, this is certainly a step forward. I’m particularly going to watch:
1) accuracy of recall
2) if it is indeed “just the right” details and how those details change over time
3) if it

Employee word choices fail to convey true AI memory capabilities
By
–
We see four different employee word choices here: 1) “expand memory”
2) “long-term memory”
3) “just the right details”
4) “remembers your previous conversations” None mention infinite context or perfect recall or (in my opinion) really anything that summons that feeling. -
ChatGPT Context Limitations: Not Infinite Memory Claims

And again, we see it here in orange. This is not infinite context or infinite perfect memory that ChatGPT has deployed. And they never said it was.

AI Chat History Dynamic Preference Learning Over Time
By

One thing I find a bit strange (or impressive? I don’t know) is that the past chat details can change over time. If that is replacing old preferences with new, it’s impressive. If that’s just randomly cherry picking and changing, it’s not. Again note here in purple that

ChatGPT Memory Feature Raises Data Privacy Concerns
By

OpenAI addresses sensitive information in the FAQ, but I can still see business owners turning the feature off. Yes, they trained ChatGPT “not to proactively remember sensitive information” but that doesn’t mean it always follows that instruction. Would continue to be wary of

ChatGPT Data Retention and Training Privacy Settings

Deleted memories may be retained for up to 30 days for “safety and debugging purposes”. Also remember you can turn off the “let my data help train the model” feature. But unless you’re only in temporary chats or your company has some sort of on-prem deployment of ChatGPT, it’s

Managing ChatGPT Privacy: Memory and Chat History Controls
By

So how do you manage what ChatGPT knows about you? Well, you can chat in transparent mode and it won’t save to either memory or chat history. You can also delete saved memories. BUT if you have chat history turned on and you want to make sure something is NEVER referenced,

AI Memory vs Chat History: Understanding Feature Distinctions

The second part is the new part, and they pick their words carefully here: “reference chat history”. Now I suspect what many others suspect and it’s loosely looking at summaries of past conversations. You can have memories ON and chat history OFF. But if memories are off, chat

OpenAI Memory Features: Saved Memories Management Explained
By

The memory features from OpenAI are actually two-part. The first is what we’ve already seen: the explicit HEY REMEMBER THIS THING feature. They call that “saved memories”. You can manage those memories. You can add and delete as you’d like.

Infinite Memory and Algorithm Advances in AI Systems

Again, if they had cracked an insane new algorithm or figured out how to run infinite memory at-scale across even free users, we would be hearing that. Noam Brown says it’s a step forward. And indeed it is. But when we see infinite memory in play, the tweets will say that.
