OpenAI Releases Dreaming V3: Background Auto-Memory for ChatGPT, 5x Compute Efficiency Gain
OpenAI released Dreaming V3 on June 4 for Plus/Pro—ChatGPT's background auto-memory system. Unlike legacy "explicitly ask to remember" model, it runs post-conversation process synthesizing preferences, constraints, active projects and time context. Key gains: ~5x efficiency enabling free user access; temporal awareness; 2x storage for Plus/Pro. Controversy: Feb arXiv study found 96% of memories system-created without prompting—potential EU AI Act scrutiny effective August.
