OpenAI has just announced that ChatGPT received a major upgrade to its memory features. The chatbot will now be able to remember a lot more about you, making it easier to personalize each conversation and adapt its responses. However, the feature won’t be available to everyone, and there are a few things to note about the way memory will work now.
The company showed off the new update in a post on X (Twitter), giving a brief demo of how much ChatGPT can remember now. According to OpenAI, ChatGPT can now “reference all of your past chats to provide more personalized responses.” Previously, only certain things were saved in memory, but now, ChatGPT can check out every single chat to reference what it knows about you in future conversations.
In the demo, the user asked ChatGPT to remind them what they talked about over the weekend. ChatGPT recalled two chats, and when asked whether those conversations were “on brand” for the user, it confirmed, bringing up even more details from beyond the weekend. OpenAI says that this will come in handy for writing, getting advice, learning, and more.
“New conversations naturally build upon what it already knows about you, making interactions feel smoother and uniquely tailored to you,” said OpenAI.
Not everyone will like the idea of a chatbot remembering all those things about them, so it’s possible to opt out of memory altogether, but also just from allowing ChatGPT to remember previous chats. You can go back to the way memory worked before, where only certain things would get saved.
To find out what ChatGPT knows about you and make changes to that, you can simply ask the bot. It’s also possible to have a clean slate and start a conversation without referencing the past; this is done via temporary chats. Those who didn’t want to use ChatGPT’s memory to begin with will be opted out of the new feature automatically.
The new memory features will be available to all Plus and Pro users except for those located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the UK, Switzerland, Norway, and Liechtenstein. Those on Team, Enterprise, and Edu plans will have to wait a few weeks to get access to the latest update.
The absolutely absurd idea of putting a touchscreen display on a mouse isn't exactly new. Turtle Beach already did it with its Command Series MC7, which features a 2.25-inch control screen. But apparently, even that wasn't ridiculous enough for Arctic Fox Technologies. Its new Super Mouse looks like someone took the chunky old Atari ST mouse, slapped a touchscreen and scroll wheel on it, and called it an upgrade.
The result is a rather unusual-looking mouse that is now on Kickstarter, starting at $199. And as ridiculous as it looks, some of its features are genuinely intriguing.
Apple is less than a day away from launching its highly anticipated OLED MacBook Pro with a touch-sensitive screen. But it appears that the upgrade is going to cost a pretty penny. According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple is reportedly eyeing a starting price of $2,899 for the 14-inch MacBook Pro, while the 16-inch version could start at $3,399 in the US.
"At $2,899, the 14-inch model would mark the highest starting price for a new MacBook Pro model, surpassing the $2,799 Apple charged for a 17-inch version introduced in 2006," says the report. The report claims that Apple is targeting a minimum price hike of $400 for its upcoming redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models.
I've spent a good amount of time digging into the spec sheet of the new M6 MacBook Pro (14-inch), and for all intents and purposes, this is a classic Apple "chip and connectivity" refresh. It's not a full redesign. The chassis, Liquid Retina XDR panel, speakers, ports, and battery, all of them carry over unchanged.
However, the M6 brings more cores, stronger on-device AI, higher memory bandwidth on the larger configs, and modern wireless. Here’s the practical rundown of what actually improved, and whether those gains are worth your money.
