OpenAI Rolls Out "Dreaming" Memory System for ChatGPT

OpenAI has begun rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory system, codenamed "Dreaming," designed to solve staleness, correctness, and scalability challenges across hundreds of millions of users and multi-year time horizons. The new system synthesizes memory to optimize for freshness, continuity, and relevance — allowing ChatGPT to carry forward useful context, follow preferences, and stay current over time.

Key improvement: The system moves beyond simple "saved memories" (launched April 2024) to active memory synthesis that updates as user context changes.
Availability: Rolling out to Plus and Pro users in the US today; Free and Go users to follow.
Evaluation: OpenAI published a detailed research post showing side-by-side examples (e.g., underwater photography gear recommendations that recall the user's specific Sony A1 II + Nauticam setup vs. generic responses without memory).

Usage: 5+ million people now use Codex weekly.
