Anthropic has rolled out automatic memory capabilities for Claude AI, allowing the chatbot to remember details from previous conversations without prompting. The feature is currently available only to Team and Enterprise users, enabling Claude to automatically incorporate user preferences, project context, and priorities into its responses.
What you should know: This upgrade builds on Anthropic’s previous memory feature that required users to manually prompt Claude to remember past chats.
- Claude’s memory now carries over to projects, a feature that lets Pro and Teams users generate diagrams, website designs, graphics, and more based on uploaded files.
- The system appears particularly focused on work-related details like “team’s processes” and “client needs.”
- Memory is “fully optional” and Claude maintains separate memories for each project a user creates.
How it works: Users maintain full control over what Claude remembers through their settings menu.
- “Based on what you tell Claude to focus on or to ignore, Claude will adjust the memories it references,” Anthropic explains.
- Users can view and edit stored memories directly from their settings.
- The feature automatically incorporates relevant context without requiring specific prompts from users.
Competitive landscape: Both OpenAI and Google have already launched similar cross-chat memory features for their respective chatbots.
- Last month, a New York Times report linked ChatGPT’s memory rollout to an increase in reports of “delusional” AI chats.
- This suggests the technology may still face reliability challenges as it becomes more widespread.
Additional features: Anthropic is simultaneously rolling out incognito chats for all users, which Claude won’t save to chat history or reference in future conversations.
- Google launched a similar “Private Chats” feature for Gemini in August.
- These privacy-focused features provide users with options for temporary interactions when persistent memory isn’t desired.

DOE fusion roadmap targets 2030s commercial deployment as AI drives $9B investment
The Department of Energy has released a new roadmap targeting commercial-scale fusion power deployment by the mid-2030s, though the plan lacks specific funding commitments and relies on scientific breakthroughs that have eluded researchers for decades. The strategy emphasizes public-private partnerships and positions AI as both a research tool and motivation for developing fusion energy to meet data centers' growing electricity demands. The big picture: The DOE's roadmap aims to "deliver the public infrastructure that supports the fusion private sector scale up in the 2030s," but acknowledges it cannot commit to specific funding levels and remains subject to Congressional appropriations.
