Anthropic Brings Automatic Memory to Claude Pro and Max Users

In future they probably will never forget anything and that is quite creepy. Like a wife that never forgets that you forgot her birthday 17 years ago.

It also doesn't remember when I tell it not to use – in a sentence and I even put it in its writing style rules on the Profile settings.

a persistent and accurate memory seems to be incredibly difficult for LLMs

Do you really think the bonfire of cash will last forever and no one will ever come to their senses? Meta just laid off 600 of their own AI employees and would continue to further fund a company with no future other than burning cash?

Incredibly doubtful they make it past 2026 without being acquired. Let's put a pin on this and revisit this then.

You're putting a pin in the discussion after quoting / making up a bunch of stuff with absolutely no basis in fact.

The lawsuit was more than covered by a funding round and gives them the legal ability to use written text as training data in a way they can be forward about. Right now you need to kind of work around a lot of limitations to get it to tell you information, but it is in there. Recouping that cost will probably take a while but they have significantly less legal exposure now vs. OpenAI who still has ongoing legal action. But they won the case, and they have the technical infrastructure already implemented to scan a very large corpus vs. just scraping reddit and forums for nonsense.

As MLVC else said they also have the backing of Amazon, and a founder who was stubborn about selling and instead forged partnerships for financing vs. a buyout. Sonnet 4.5 is incredibly good and Opus 4.1 is unmatched for many things, and I speak from direct experience having spent a lot of time using all the major models except Gemini.

I don't think you use Claude to any kind of serious degree and are parroting pundits who don't know what they're talking about, which is nearly everyone in the "AI commentary" space. Speculation is fine but you might want to look more at the details, as well as their research – and their paid user / inference profitability.

They are making profits on the Max plan users and have throttled Pro down so far they likely are there too. ChatGPT has more users but I speculate there are actually more paid users of Claude vs. ChatGPT (which is sub-5%, and is why they are pivoting to ads and adult content).

I know many coders who happily pay for Max plans or direct credits. Their R&D is also advancing the field dramatically, and the blog posts about things are not hyperbole despite the average anti-AI bandwagon internet person thinking it is just marketing material. I've seen what they're talking about first hand and it's groundbreaking.

I think your usage stats are absolutely bogus, especially since non-paid users of ChatGPT are not generating any revenue at all right now (which will change of course). When asked to source them you didn't. Considering doing so, I'm specifically interested if you have information that "it has about the lowest traffic in AI", particularly when it comes to paying users.

I will absolutely take whatever bet you're implying. :)

I feel bad for Anthropic, doubtful they make it through 2026. Most likely the first of the AI companies to fail unless someone buys them out. But who would? For what? To pay for their legal fees and liabilities?

What exactly are you on about? Anthropic isn't doing bad at all right now?

They need more login options. Email and password would be more approachable for those who prefer not to use login with Google and for those who don't like the whole "enter your email, go check email, copy code paste code etc". Login with email and password would be very straightforward with icloud keychain etc.

They had it coming.
