Anthropic Expands Claude’s Persistent Memory to Pro and Max Subscribers

The opt-in capability adds project-specific recall, transparent summaries, and data portability following targeted safety testing.

Overview

  • Max users can enable the capability today, with Pro access rolling out over the coming days, and no timeline announced for free users.
  • Users get granular control to view and edit what is stored, switch it off at any time, and start Incognito chats that leave no trace in memory.
  • Each Project has its own isolated memory space to keep workstreams separate and prevent details from bleeding across conversations.
  • Import and export tools support portability, including copy-and-paste transfers of saved context from ChatGPT or Gemini and exporting data from Claude.
  • Anthropic says the rollout follows extensive safety testing on wellbeing-related edge cases and adjustments to reduce harmful patterns, as some experts warn long-lived recall can reinforce delusional thinking.
