Anthropic Brings Automatic Memory to Claude Pro and Max Users

[MacRumors]

Anthropic today said it is updating the Claude chatbot with a new memory feature, which will put Claude on par with ChatGPT. With memory enabled, Claude will be able to recall past conversations.

Anthropic first added memory to Claude earlier this year, but with the initial implementation, Claude would only recall details when specifically asked. In August, Anthropic expanded the memory feature to allow Claude to automatically remember conversation details without a specific user request, and that functionality has been limited to Team and Enterprise subscribers.

Claude's memory functionality is now expanding to all paid users, so Pro and Max subscribers can use the feature. Max users can turn it on now, while Pro subscribers will get access "over the coming days."

Memory is an opt-in feature that can be turned on in Claude's settings. There are options for "search and reference chats" and "generate memory from chat history." Claude offers an editable memory summary that users can view to see what Claude remembers from conversations.

In the projects section of Claude, each project will have a separate memory. The division ensures that different discussions remain distinct, allowing for separation of work and personal chats.

I was just wondering about this in cahtGPT , because it wasn't able to remember the car models I was referring to just 1/2 conversations ago

I feel bad for Anthropic, doubtful they make it through 2026. Most likely the first of the AI companies to fail unless someone buys them out. But who would? For what? To pay for their legal fees and liabilities?

Best AI model out there in my experience. I did however drop my max plan to $100/mo from $200/mo after they severely throttled access.

They had it coming.

Grok has done this for sometime already now. I liked Claude and it’s helped me in some tough coding scenarios, but their message limits are an absolute joke, even with paid subscription, and constantly having to create new conversations to not push the data limit even sooner is absurd.

In future they probably will never forget anything and that is quite creepy. Like a wife that never forgets that you forgot her birthday 17 years ago.

It also doesn't remember when I tell it not to use – in a sentence and I even put it in its writing style rules on the Profile settings.

a persistent and accurate memory seems to be incredibly difficult for LLMs

Think it might be available for free plan too in the near future. Hope there are proper controls for protecting user data.

Unless you are the CEO of UPN (The Morning Show reference) 😉

What exactly are you on about? Anthropic isn't doing bad at all right now?

They need more login options. Email and password would be more approachable for those who prefer not to use login with Google and for those who don't like the whole "enter your email, go check email, copy code paste code etc". Login with email and password would be very straightforward with icloud keychain etc.
