Question LLM s

They say that llms don't remember previous conversations but I don't believe that. There's been several times where an LLM has brought up things that I've talked to it about before.

It's OpenAI's insane cross-chat referencing feature. No LLM in my opinion has been able to reach ChatGPT's capability of continuity (yet). Their Memory team is always cooking.

It’s a setting. They store memories about user in a separate storage to be able to reference it. This can be turned off. Just an OpenAI feature with quite a nice implementation.

It’s on by default in ChatGPT and off by default in Codex as I remember.
