OpenAI has just rolled out a brand new feature called memory. And I think that this is going to be number one, a way for them to actually make more money. Number two, this is the moat that I think is going to keep them competitive and really keep everyone coming back to OpenAI when they're kind of starting to lose market share to other players. And finally, I want to break down exactly what Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, has been sharing about this.
A lot of really interesting use cases that I personally can see. I'll show you a demo of exactly what that looks like if you're watching live. But otherwise, let's get into what Sam Altman said. So in a recent post over on X, he said, we have greatly improved memory in chat GPT.
And now, reference all of your past conversations. This is a surprisingly great feature, IMO. And at points at something, we're excited about AI systems that get to know you over your life and become extremely useful and personalized. OK, I think the personalization element is probably like one of the most important.
I want to get to that. He then said, rolls out today for pro users and soon for plus users, except users in the EA UK Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, and Litchstein. Shout out to everyone over in Litchstein. That does not get access to this.
I mean, it's cool to get a shout out. He said, call me Litchstein. Let's work this out. He said, you can, of course, opt out of this or memory altogether.
And you can use temporary chat if you have, if you want to have a conversation that won't use or affect memory. OK, what is this? Because a lot of people probably are like, well, didn't they roll out like some sort of memory feature in the past. So in the past, chat GPT had a feature that you could opt in and opt out of, which essentially said, if you said something really important, you could add a note to chat GPT and be like, hey, remember this for the future.
And it would have a little pop up that would say, hey, we grabbed this piece of information, we'll remember it. And in the back end of your account in your settings, you could go look and see all the things that remember to have this giant list of things that sort of remember about you that were important. Usually things that you told it to remember about you. Now they're changing that.
So obviously, that was something that I think would save a lot of money, right? They don't have to remember a few things. Kind of have this little memory bank of stuff. It probably goes away from them to test out this full rollout.
The full rollout is where it remembers literally everything you have ever said to it in all of your chat history. A couple reasons why I think this is important. Number one, we know that in one big chat on chat GPT, it's supposed to sort of remembering everything. But you'll probably notice that if you get 30 messages into something with chat GPT, it starts to forget the top things.
And that's because the context window that essentially is grabbing and sending to the AI model when it wants to response back is like, look, it's way too big for us to send the entire last 30 questions and responses just to get context for the question. Like you probably get a context of the last 10 messages. So they sort of had this cutoff point. And they definitely had the cutoff point with their API.
So all developers are using this and adding into things. But they are going away with that. And now they're just creating a probably rag model. A giant repository of data on every conversation you have ever had with CHETCHP and everything you've ever said.
And all of that can be taken into consideration when you send a message. Now typically, this is going to be things that are relevant. It will be queued against it. I'm assuming they have some AI models to optimize and make this.
So it's not like you're literally sending every single chat message you've ever sent every single time. They're just trying to find the relevant pieces of it. But it's remembering. And it's drawing from everything.
This is so fast. And I want to show you a use case. And then we're going to dive into some more of the details going on here that are interesting. OK, I just went to CHETCHP and by the way, if you ever want to know where this is, it's over in your Settings on your CHETCHP account.
There's a place called Personalization. And there is a toggle called Memory where you could just toggle on reference saved memories. They say, let CHETCHP and use memories when responding. You could toggle this on and toggle it off.
It's super easy. OK, so I have it to toggle on. And I've had it toggled on. And by the way, this is going to come toggled on by default for everyone that has previously had CHETCHP, toggled on, kind of like their earlier version memory.
Now everyone that had that on is now going to get the full version. OK, so I said, what is a good business idea that we've talked about in the past? I'm like, I don't know. When I talk to CHETCHP about in the past, OK, the funny thing is I share my work CHETCHP account.
And I share with all of the employees. I probably share it with my mom and my sister. And I'm like, I want to use CHETCHP for free. This is my company account that a million people are using.
And you just use it for free. I just want to have premium pretty much. So it has all sorts of funny things on here that I don't remember ever asking about women's health advocacy platforms. Probably wasn't a business idea I was asking about, but I'm assuming some of the people did.
One thing that was interesting is it's like, you should do Christian music and wellness retreats. And it is true. My wife did just release a Christian music album a few days ago. So I've been asking questions about how to mix and master music and do different things and come up with different concepts.
And so, yeah, I've been asking all sorts of questions about this. And now it's decided I need to have a faith-based workshop for self-care and storytelling. Whatever, I got to really honestly the idea is I don't think you're fantastic. But what's interesting is it says, tapping into your wife's music and your shared values, you should do blah, blah, blah, blah.
It is true, right? So that is very interesting. This is just pulling it from some conversation I've had in the past. Now, if you've done this like two days ago or yesterday, even you would not have gotten from a brand new chat, what are ideas we had in the past?
You wouldn't have had it be able to pull up everything else. But now it's actually able to pull up chats I had in the past. So to me, this is very, very interesting. And yeah, it's just a simple chat GPT prompt where I ask you questions and ask you the question.
And then it's pulling up conversations I've had in the past. So this is really, really interesting. I wanted to check out this release a whole article about this. They said a couple of different things that were interesting.
So apparently, chat GPT free users are not getting this right now. The chat G, opening I said, quote, we are focused on the roll up to paid tiers for now. So if you don't have a premium account, and honestly, this is kind of how everything with chat GPT and opening I goes when I release a new feature, even when they're like two weeks later, the free tier gets it. If you want it on the cutting edge, you got to be a paid user for it, which is 20 bucks a month.
And I have it for a bunch of different features anyways. What's interesting is they essentially are not copying Google. A lot of people might say that, but Google did just roll out a very similar feature to this in Google Gemini. And so this came out in February this year.
So a couple months ago. And a lot of people, I think, don't use Google Gemini for a variety of reasons. I don't want to go and drag them too much, but recently I tried other new model, which is like above and beyond on all the benchmarks. It's like the best thing ever.
When I tried it, it had some very obvious hallucination fumbles in the first couple of questions. And I was like, ah, it's just not going to become a daily driver. Yeah. And I think Google has a lot of money resources and talent, and it will be amazing soon.
Maybe it's there today. I don't know, wasn't there two weeks ago when I tried it. But in any case, they rolled out this feature, and it's kind of cool to see Google being the first one to roll out a big feature. After having an opening, I kind of come and copy it a couple months later.
So it feels very much like meta whenever, you know, Snapchat made the stories and then instantly meta goes and copies of stories and clones and throws them into Instagram. It's like, these models are all kind of competing in the same space right now. And so they're just kind of, if someone comes up with a good idea, everyone's going to try to jump on it. You have, you know, deep-seek that came out with really showing you what the reasoning model was and what the thoughts were and Chech be kind of had a reasoning model, but they weren't showing you the thought process on it and immediately copy cloned it now.
You kind of read the thought process or especially like Groc does that now too, where they show you the thought process in detail. So these models are going back and forth with things. The reason why I think this one in particular is interesting is because this is the most, this is a literally the perfect thing that Chech be can do. We have a whole bunch of new AI companies coming to the forefront that are stealing market share.
I'm going to be 100% honest. If you've ever used groc.com, Groc is one that they just released a bunch of new usage metrics on the say of AI and Groc has swooped up a whole bunch of market share. It's XAI, Elon's AI company and they kind of branded themselves as like, well, give you answers to everything. And to be honest, like I actually, it was my like daily driver for chat, I'm using Chech be a little bit more now that they came up with the image model and I'm like, super cool, but for most of the text responses, I've been using groc because it doesn't really seem to, I don't know how to say it nicely, but it doesn't tell me like, hey, you can't ask that question or like we can't respond to that or like, it doesn't really be you as much.
Like if you have a question, I'm just like, hey, I need to figure out this thing for my taxes and my account and ask this question. What's the best way that I can do X, Y, and Z, help me find ways to say money on taxes or whatever. Obviously legal stuff guys. But if I ask those kind of questions to Chech, it's like, hey, I don't know, whatever, it's like really strict and it's not a financial advisor, whatever, groc will just kind of like give you all sorts of ideas.
So anyways, I've been using it more and the response was pretty much the same quality. And so, and actually the metrics showed that groc was stealing a ton of market share. Now, with this new feature that Chech, Y, P is using with the memory, I think that they'll be able to take back a ton of new users or ton of users that may have migrated other places. And the reason for that being everyone was using Chech, P for the last like two years, before these other models came out, like a lot of people like clawed, a lot of people like, you know, groc, maybe even Gemini is gonna come up with a forefront now that they're beating them on a bunch of benchmarks.
And so all the people that were really hardcore on Chech, P, because it's the first and the longest, migrated away in the last, let's say six months. And if they go back, they have like a year and a half worth of data that's there. So I think that this is actually a good thing that they can use to pull back. And in no way is Chech, P, T, diminishing.
We saw that after the most recent reports, after the image that came out, it said there was 500 million weekly active users, I believe, or 400 million weekly active users, absolutely insane numbers. So Chech, P is still growing like mad, like crazy. But I think this is gonna be a way for them to double down and stuff the leakage out to other AI companies. So overall, this is very, very impressive.
Some people have, you know, cited that they don't like this because they're worried it's gonna be an infringement on their privacy, they don't want, you know, to crunch the saying that, you know, quote, not every user will be thrilled with the notion of opening an eye, vacuum on more of their information. Of course, fortunately, there's an opt-out, whatever. Okay, yeah, if you're concerned about your data, I mean, you technically are giving it to them either way, it's on their servers, but like, they're not gonna be used, like they could use your data either way, I think, especially if you're a free tier, then the kind of agreement is like, if you're free tier and you're asking questions, I can take that and like use it, help train their models. So that's already how they're operating.
And just because you now know and you can access your previous stuff, that doesn't really change anything. So I don't really think that's a good argument. Of course, if you don't like the AI models, I have your data, you get a paid plan or an enterprise plan and they won't be training off of your inputs if you do that that they've set. So that's kind of the way, and of course, you can opt out of this, but I don't think opting in or not really changes much about how they use your data because you give it to them either way.
But in any case, major update from chat GPT, I'll definitely keep you up to date on everything going down. I think this is huge, right? You can imagine if you say something like, I am allergic, like, Ali Miller shut on LinkedIn, if you say you're allergic to lavender, and then you ask it for recommendations for a flower bouquet arrangement, it's not gonna tell you lavender is gonna say, get down for those or something else because I don't want you to die. And so I think that these are very good use cases, there's tons of good use cases.
It can remind you of things that you may have forgotten about, that you were talking about it two months ago. Maybe you're like, hey, I was working on this project and I can't remember what the answer was, like what's the best thing? And I can go back and find the chats, remember what you talk about with the project and what the verdict was and let you know. And you can also build on everything you've done in the past.
So I think this is phenomenal. I think this is memories and amazing mo and chat GPT and opening up, I have an absolute strangle hold on this because everyone was forced to use force to, I mean, it was the coolest and newest tool that everyone was using for the first year and a half seriously of the AI revolution. And so because they have all of that data, they can bring a lot of people back that want to keep access to all of that. So absolutely amazing, really cool stuff going on.
That'll keep you up to date on everything happening in opening eye and happening on chat GPT and AI. Thanks so much for tuning in. I hope you have a fantastic rest of your day and I will catch you next time.
