ChatGPT Can Now Reference All Previous Chats as Memory

OpenAI has introduced an update to the memory feature in ChatGPT: it can now reference all of your past conversations, even those not manually saved, to better inform future responses.

Details:

• ChatGPT’s memory feature has been around for over a year. It could already remember things like your preferences or specific details you asked it to remember, carrying them over from one chat to the next.

• With the new upgrade, it now automatically builds on everything it knows from your previous conversations — allowing for smoother, more contextualized, and helpful interactions.

• As with the previous memory feature, users can opt out. They can also use temporary chat to have a conversation that won’t use or affect memory.

• The update is currently rolling out to Pro users and will be available to Plus users soon. However, it won’t be available in the EU, UK, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, or Liechtenstein.

This is part of OpenAI’s broader strategy to position ChatGPT not as a mere AI chatbot, but more like a personal assistant that can seamlessly integrate into users' lives.

THINKING MACHINES LABS

Mira Murati’s AI Startup Targets $2B Seed Round

Ex-OpenAI CTO Mira Murati’s new AI startup named Thinking Machines Lab is reportedly aiming to raise $2 billion in seed funding, potentially valuing it at over $10 billion.

Details:

• Thinking Machines Lab recently emerged from stealth mode and, despite having no product or revenue yet, it seems to have attracted investors with its ambitious vision and dozens of high-profile AI researchers in its ranks.

• According to Business Insider, the startup will double its target for the seed funding round, making it one of the largest in history.

• Murati spent six years helping shape projects like ChatGPT before leaving OpenAI in September 2024. Just six months later, she launched her own AI startup and secured key hires, including senior OpenAI executives and talent from Google DeepMind and Character AI.

Thinking Machines Lab now has the team, the funding, and the ambition to make an impact in AI research with its goal of creating AI systems that are “more widely understood, customizable, and generally capable” than those currently available.
