Anthropic Rolls Out Claude’s Persistent Memory to All Paid Users

The opt-in feature follows safety testing that prompted adjustments to curb over‑accommodation.

Overview

  • Max subscribers can enable Memory now in settings, with Pro users receiving the rollout in the coming days.
  • Controls include an explicit, editable memory summary, per-item toggles and deletion, plus Incognito chats that do not save to memory.
  • Project-scoped memory keeps information separated across distinct Claude Projects to prevent cross‑chat bleedthrough.
  • Users can import memories from ChatGPT or Gemini via copy‑and‑paste and export Claude memories at any time, reflecting a no‑lock‑in approach.
  • Anthropic says it refined behavior after extensive testing, while outside experts warn persistent recall could reinforce harmful patterns or delusional thinking.
