- 1 OpenAI is introducing a new and advanced feature of memory storage to improve the user experience.
- 2 The feature is expected to be implemented in February 2024.
- 3 It will make AI conversations natural, personalized and interactive.
OpenAI is providing ChatGPT with selective memory. This memory feature will enable the chatbot to recall past conversations, leading to improvised customizability.
OpenAI has continuously strived to improve its AI language model and ChatGPT is a substantial development to that direction. The ChatGPT works in a dialogue format, which allows users to interact conversationally. It enables the AI to ask follow-up questions, generate ideas, admit mistakes and even reject inappropriate requests.
It was designed to model an InstructGPT, which is trained to follow instructions in a prompt and provide detailed responses. ChatGPT is an impressive technological innovation that takes users a step closer to achieving artificial intelligence (AGI).
In theory, artificial intelligence aims to replicate the human brain. It would be able to portray human-like sentiments, have self-awareness, help in problem-solving and plan the future.
Features of ChatGPT according to the CEO of OpenAI
Cheaper and Faster GPT-4
The primary focus of OpenAI is to make the model of GPT-4 faster and more affordable. It aims at supporting more developers to leverage the power of AI, democratizing access to cutting-edge technology and driving innovation.
Longer Context Windows
Understanding context is the key to natural language processing. OpenAI plans to push the longevity context window of up to 1 million tokens. It will potentially enhance conversational coordination and depth.
Fine-tuning API
OpenAI aims to extend the fine-tuning API to the latest models to cater to developers’ specific needs. It will provide greater control and customization options for developers.
Stateful API
In the newer version, it will now be possible for the API to remember the conversation history. It will eliminate the need to repeatedly prompt through the same conversation history.
ChatGPT’s Ability to Remember Conversations
According to the latest blog post of OpenAI,
“We’re testing the ability for ChatGPT to remember things you discuss to make future chats more helpful.”
The team announced a new feature that will allow the popular generative AI to have the ability to remember information in order to make future conversations more convenient.
The aforementioned new feature will be kickstarted in the third week of February 2024.
How does the memory feature work?
The users can either prompt ChatGPT to remember specific information or it can choose what is relevant and what is not, by itself.
Let us understand the feature better by a few examples:
- When a user instructs that he/she prefers meeting notes to have headlines, bullets and action items summarized at the bottom. So, ChatGPT remembers this information and works accordingly from there on.
- If a user mentions that he/she has a toddler and loves jellyfish, GPT will memorize it. Afterwards, if the user creates a birthday card for her daughter, ChatGPT will automatically suggest a jellyfish wearing a party hat.
- If the user is a kindergarten teacher with 25 students, and he/she prefers 50-minute sessions with follow-up activities, ChatGPT will remember and accordingly help in creating session plans.
Additional personalized features:
- The user can turn the feature on/off according to convenience.
- Use temporary chat for conversations without memory.
- It will allow custom instructions that will enable ChatGPT to be more helpful.
- ChatGPT is constantly evolving its privacy and safety standards.
- Team and enterprise customers can work more efficiently.
