OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced earlier through his personal "X" page that a memory function will be added to the ChatGPT service. This will be able to record the content of users' previous interactions, so that users do not have to repeat the information they have previously shared with ChatGPT, and can respond to users' questions more quickly or provide better suggestions.
Currently, this feature is only available to users who pay to subscribe to ChatGPT Pro and ChatGPT Plus plans. If users do not want this feature to remember too many personal behaviors, OpenAI also provides a manual shutdown function to avoid affecting personal privacy and security. OpenAI even provides a temporary chat option, allowing ChatGPT to still remember user interaction information during the interaction process, but the content of the interaction will not be remembered by the system.
This approach actually makes it convenient for users who frequently use artificial intelligence services. They can use ChatGPT to quickly recall the last or earlier interaction methods without having to restart a new work interaction every time.
Google recently launchedGemini 2.0 Flash Thinking ModelIn fact, a similar design has been added when Gemini was first launched, allowing Gemini to remember user preferences based on the interactive content, thereby providing a more personalized interactive effect.
Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking also has multimodal input capabilities, which means it can process images and text content simultaneously. Just like solving complex problems, it will break down the problem one by one and find the solution.
we have greatly improved memory in chatgpt–it can now reference all your past conversations!
this is a surprisingly great feature imo, and it points at something we are excited about: ai systems that get to know you over your life, and become extremely useful and personalized.
