How do I enable or disable memory in API?

[halberdier]

I am fascinated about the memory option and I would like to experiment with that by using the API, is there any I can turn on and off memory?

The API currently does not offer a memory function. It’s only currently being rolled out across the ChatGPT interface.

But if you are interested in building a custom solution for retaining memory then it might be worth checking out some of the other Forum posts. Some individuals such as @darcschnider have been doing some advanced work to enable memory retention. See the post here:

Kruel.ai V5.0 - Api companion with full understanding running 16k thanks to advanced memory system

It’s been 1.7 years now of programming today I am happy to show off my achievement. Kruel.ai 5.0 is the start of a full featured ai companion. It has a persona system for configuring the ai core system from giving it a name, how it behaves along with a job or backstory depending on how you use it. It has Long term memory system designed to capture everything you need from your discussions, to your computer screens, or even the world around you if you give it eyes. It has not only a long…

Pretty much have to build your own memory design. The do have some sort of test going on with chatgpt with memory for some but I don’t believe that is coming to API. If you want some insights on where to start I can help.

Does anyone have more information about this?

Seems like OpenAI has added some significant intelligence not exposed to the API.

I do think ChatGPT is more intelligent and API lags behind significantly. Could be performance considerations or they want to have users use chatGPT more or a trick to keep their core capability one generation ahead (If API === ChatGPT, other GPTs can learn)

I would be surprised if that was the case, tbh. I think the FTC might have an issue with it as well as it would be a deceptive biz practice (bait and switch), unless stated somewhere in the ToS.

But the memory is definitely something not in the API.

[darcschnider]

ChatGPT uses a small, persistent memory design that you can control. It captures key information based on your interactions or specific projects you mention. Additionally, it includes pre-configured catches for people and preferences. Similar to Kruel AI, it operates through an API-driven memory system, utilizing a memory store and logic to build AI responses. This ensures the system consistently works with accurate data and leverages stacked logic to maintain accuracy.

I wonder what was so horrible it had to be hidden up there.

Haha yeah I am surprised too. I mentioned two frameworks that are looking into different ways of doing memory, and then it was marked as ads. I edited but it doesn’t seem to help.

Any updates on this topic? I’ve been getting exactly the same responses when I pass slightly similar prompts. If this is not because of the use of memory, what could it be?
