ChatGPT has released the Memory function, that means GPT can remember things input before. Even when starting a new chat, GPT will remember the context.
Below is what I have learned.
Requirements
Memory function is available to both free and paid users but is being rolled out gradually. If you don’t see the Memory function, it means you haven’t got access yet, please be patient.
Memory for GPTs is also being rolled out gradually. If you don’t see the menu in GPTs settings, it means you haven’t got access yet.
Create Memory
Here is an example of the website version:
When chatting, if you trigger GPT to remember something, like saying Remember, I am from China, GPT will memorize this message.
Of course, if you input the case directly, such as introducing yourself, GPT will also memorize this message.
Start a new chat and ask it directly, you will find that GPT already knows this information, proving that GPT has memory.
Note
- ChatGPT’s
web/Mac App/Mobile Appall support Memory function. Temporary chatdo not support Memory function.- Hovering over
Memory Updatedwill open the Memory management menu directly.
Delete Memory
If you want to delete the Memory, you can also delete it through chat, for example, Forget that I am from China.
Additionally, you can manage or disable Memory in Settings > Personalization > Memorydirectly.
Note
Deleting a chat does not delete the related Memory, it can only be done through the above operations.
Limitations
OpenAI has not announced the size/number limit of Memory.
Personally, I guess it might still take up the token limit for context in the AI model. Looking forward to that OpenAI release more details later.
At the end
This’s all I know, let me know if you can share more details.
