Anthropic expands Claude memory to all paid users

Anthropic announces today that all paid Claude users will now have memory.

In September, the AI company announced that Claude memory was available to some paid users — those on Team and Enterprise plans. Now, Claude will be able to "remember" for individual Max and Pro users.

Max subscribers can enable Memory in Settings today, while Pro users will see it roll out in the coming days. When turning on the feature, you give Claude a starting point and it starts building context from there. You can also import memory from ChatGPT or Gemini by copy and pasting — and you can export memory out of Claude, as well.

Memory is optional and can be toggled on or off. Users can also delete specific memories or use Claude incognito (which the company also introduced recently).

In a press release shared with Mashable, Anthropic claims that it conducted safety tests with memory, such as whether Claude would recall conversations with harmful language or become overly accommodating with potentially harmful user requests (an issue that has been observed in other LLMs like ChatGPT, which has been criticized for feeding into some users' delusional thinking). Anthropic states that it made adjustments to how memory functions, based on these tests.

When Anthropic released its latest lightweight model, Claude Haiku 4.5, it claimed it was its safest yet, and the company reiterated that its latest LLMs are safer than their predecessors.

In terms of memory specifically, the release states that Claude provides "complete transparency," in that users can see the "actual synthesis, not vague summaries" of what the model stores.

Anthropic has released several updates to Claude in the past few months, including a new code model, the compact Haiku 4.5 model, a Chrome extension, and the ability to make spreadsheets and decks. Memory is powered by the Claude 4 model family, the company stated.

"We're building toward Claude understanding your complete work context and adapting automatically," Anthropic chief product officer Mike Krieger said in the press release. "Memory starts with project continuity, but it's really about creating sustained thinking partnerships that evolve over weeks and months."

Disclosure: Ziff Davis, Mashable's parent company, in April filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging it infringed Ziff Davis copyrights in training and operating its AI systems.

When the clocks change for Daylight Saving Time, and why we do it at all

The clocks on our smartphones do something bizarre twice a year: One day in the spring, they jump ahead an hour, and our alarms go off an hour sooner. We wake up bleary-eyed and confused until we remember what just happened. Afterward, "Daylight Saving Time" becomes the norm for about eight months (And yes, it's called "Daylight Saving" not "Daylight Savings." I don't make the rules). Then, in the fall, the opposite happens. Our clocks set themselves back an hour, and we wake up refreshed, if a little uneasy.  Mild chaos ensues at both annual clock changes. What feels like an abrupt and drastic lengthening or shortening of the day causes time itself to seem fictional. Babies and dogs demand that their old sleep and feeding habits remain unchanged. And more consequential effects — for better or worse — may be involved as well (more on which in a minute). Changing our clocks is an all-out attack on our perception of time as an immutable law of ...

A speeding black hole is birthing baby stars across light years

Astronomers think they have discovered a supermassive black hole traveling away from its home galaxy at 4 million mph — so fast it's not doing what it's notorious for: sucking light out of the universe. Quite the opposite, possibly. Rather than ripping stars to shreds and swallowing up every morsel, this black hole is believed to be fostering new star formation, leaving a trail of newborn stars stretching 200,000 light-years through space . Pieter van Dokkum, an astronomy professor at Yale University, said as the black hole rams into gas, it seems to trigger a narrow corridor of new stars, where the gas has a chance to cool. How exactly it works, though, isn't known, said van Dokkum, who led research on the phenomenon captured by NASA 's Hubble Space Telescope accidentally. A paper on the findings was published last week in The Astrophysical Journal Letters . “What we’re seeing is the aftermath," he said in a statement . "Like the wake behind a ship, we’r...
