Anthropic is rolling out an update for Claude that will let the AI chatbot \u201cremember\u201d past conversations without prompting. The upgrade for all paid subscribers should make Claude more useful and convenient.<\/p>\n
Max subscribers will be able to turn on Claude\u2019s \u201cmemory\u201d in their settings from today, Anthropic said. The feature, which has been available to Team and Enterprise users since September<\/a>, lets Claude remember details from previous chats. Pro subscribers will see the memory feature \u201croll out over the coming days,\u201d Anthropic said. The company did not say whether it plans to make the feature available to free users in the future.<\/p>\n Anthropic says the goal is \u201ccomplete transparency.\u201d Users will be able to clearly see what Claude remembers rather than \u201cvague summaries,\u201d it said. Specific memories can also be toggled on and off or edited with natural conversation. For example, you could tell Claude to focus on specific memories or \u201cforget an old job entirely.\u201d Users can also create \u201cdistinct memory spaces\u201d that will keep various memories apart. If it works, this could be useful at stopping memories from different conversations or projects bleeding through into other chats, handy for separating different work projects or using the bot for personal and professional reasons.<\/p>\n The hotly anticipated memory function brings Claude closer in line with rival chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini. All are competing ferociously for users and memory functions are a way of encouraging users to stick around rather than starting all over again with another bot. Claude has lagged its rivals in memory \u2014 OpenAI<\/a> and Google<\/a> both rolled out memory features for their chatbots last year \u2014 and it only gained the ability to remember past conversations this August. Even then, you had to explicitly ask Claude to remember<\/a>.<\/p>\n Anthropic hopes to reduce the friction of starting over by letting users import memories from ChatGPT or Gemini. These will need to be copy-and-pasted in. Memories can also be exported \u201canytime\u201d from Claude, it said. \u201cNo lock-in.\u201d<\/p>\n Chatbot memory has, however, proven divisive. While hailed as a useful feature, some experts warn<\/a> recall can help sustain or amplify delusional thinking and other mental health concerns colloquially called \u201cAI psychosis<\/a>,\u201d particularly given the sycophantic tendencies<\/a> of some models.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Anthropic is rolling out an update for Claude that will let the AI chatbot \u201cremember\u201d past conversations without…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":140971,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[74],"tags":[291,6006,18,19,17,5,753,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-140970","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-anthropic","10":"tag-eire","11":"tag-ie","12":"tag-ireland","13":"tag-news","14":"tag-tech","15":"tag-technology"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140970","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=140970"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140970\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/140971"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=140970"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=140970"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=140970"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
