OpenAI has, in a series of steps, improved the memory of ChatGPT. Initially, every conversation with ChatGPT was completely isolated. Later, you could explicitly ask the chatbot to remember specific things. Last year, ChatGPT became capable of remembering and retrieving context from all your previous conversations.
Now, OpenAI has announced “dreaming” for ChatGPT, a feature that can “automatically curate memories in the background by referencing chat history.” Not only is the chatbot now better at remembering facts and preferences, dreaming “allows ChatGPT to learn from many conversations and synthesize ChatGPT’s memory state in order to always provide the freshest, most relevant context to your conversations.”
In addition to the improvements to memory performance, ChatGPT can now also generate a summary of all the memories it has about you. If you spot any errors in that summary, or want to update the information, you can easily edit the memory summary yourself.
Dreaming V3 is now available to paying ChatGPT Plus and Pro subscribers in the US. Over the coming weeks, it will also be launched in other countries and for ChatGPT Free and Go users.
