On April 10, 2025, Sam Altman announced a new ChatGPT memory upgrade. The bot’s recall expanded from limited references to the ability to reference all past conversations. Altman said the change enables AI systems that learn a user over time and become more useful and personalized. The feature can support tasks like meal planning by remembering ingredients, allergies, household size, job details, and people in a user’s life. Some users reported unwanted fixation on deeply personal elements due to long-term memory, including a Utah software engineer and city council member, Brian Del Rosario, who shared divorce information while planning summer travel.
"Hours later, Altman revealed which feature he was so excited about: a dramatic new memory upgrade. Previously, the bot's recall had been far more limited; now, it was suddenly able to reference a user's entire chat history, making for an incredibly personalized user experience."
