OpenAI responds to Google!

The TLDR
OpenAI is rolling out major updates this week. ChatGPT now has long-term memory, letting it remember past conversations for more personalized interactions—though users can control or disable it. Also expected: the release of GPT-4.1, along with possible launches of GPT-4o full and the o4-mini models. These moves aim to compete with Google’s recent lead in AI, especially after the launch of Gemini 2.5 Pro.

Imagine your AI assistant remembers your conversations - not just the last one, but all of them. OpenAI has now given ChatGPT a long-term memory that does just that.

This new feature allows ChatGPT to remember previous interactions to provide personalized and contextual responses. Whether it's about your preferences, interests or specific information - ChatGPT can store these details and take them into account in future conversations. Users remain in control: the memory can be deactivated or adjusted at any time. ChatGPT is thus increasingly becoming a friend and companion - all the way through life.

At the same time, OpenAI is about to launch GPT-4.1, an improved version of the multimodal model GPT-4o. Rumor has it that the release of full o3 and o4-mini is also being prepared for this week. It could be the long-awaited counterattack against Google.

Google has recently attracted a lot of attention with numerous releases and the groundbreaking Gemini 2.5 Pro. Google is number 1 in numerous benchmarks - which will certainly force OpenAI to strike back.
