ChatGPT 5 Rival Claude AI Chatbot Gets New Memory Feature: How It Helps
ChatGPT 5 launch has got mixed reviews but its rivals are slowly becoming more useful for people. Anthropic, the company behind the Claude AI chatbot, is bringing new features to make it more helpful and get more users to try it out.
OpenAI and Grok have a close fight going on in the market but Claude is looking to make use of their rivalry to quietly build its own armoury. One of them is the ability to recall a conversation and allow you to start from where you left off. ChatGPT users got this feature a while back and now Claude users are also getting it this week.
Claude Memory Feature: AI Remembers
Claude confirmed the new feature via a post on X this week and also shared the details about which of its users can try it out. Anthropic is bringing the new option to its Max, Team and Enterprise premium users while the Pro users will get it later. The company did not say anything for the free users so it is likely to be a premium tool as of now. ChatGPT and Gemini offer the memory tool for all its users and the free users as well but Claude will keep them waiting for a few months.
Offering features like these for free brings more people on board, something that Perplexity is heavily banking on with the free Airtel offer in India. At the same time you have Grok from Elon Musk that is bringing new features to more users and making them use it through the standalone app on their phone.
Grok AI chatbot is now making its Imagine AI feature free for everyone, and available to Android users as well. Grok Imagine is another AI tool that helps you generate videos and photos using text or even voice prompts.
OpenAI and Google have their own tools that create videos and images and now Grok Imagine makes it even more interactive, and let you convert still images into moving visuals. Musk has claimed over 44 million images have been created by Grok Imagine and it continues to grow.

ChatGPT beats all competitors in revenue generation from users: Report
New Delhi: Individual users worldwide have spent $2 billion on the ChatGPT mobile app through iOS and Android platforms since the AI application's launch in May 2023, according to a report on Saturday. In 2025, revenue of the application grew 673 per cent year-over-year. The app has clocked 318 million downloads in 2025, 2.8 times higher than during the same period last year, TechCrunch reported. India has the highest lifetime installs at 13.7 per cent, while the US followed with 10.3 per cent. American users, however, accounted for over 38 per cent of ChatGPT's global revenue. Average spending per download in the US is $10, while in Germany it stood at 5.3 per cent. ChatGPT Users make payments for premium features, such as a ChatGPT Plus subscription at $20 per month, which provides access to advanced models like GPT-5, higher usage limits, and enhanced functionality. ChatGPT outperformed all competitors in lifetime revenue per install, averaging $2.91. Anthropic's Claude followed at $2.55, while Elon Musk's Grok stood at $0.75. Microsoft's Copilot app lagged at just $0.27. Analysts suggested Grok's underperformance is due to its late mobile launch. The standalone iOS app of xAI was only available to users from January 2025, with Android support added in March. The delay has hindered its momentum in the app economy. Meanwhile, Musk, the founder of xAI, claimed that OpenAI's ChatGPT ranks first on the Apple Store because of Apple's favouritism, while his apps, X and xAI's Grok, are sidelined. Apple denied allegations that its App Store algorithms or curated lists favour ChatGPT over Musk's offerings. 'The App Store is designed to be fair and free of bias,' the company insisted, adding that recommendations are based on charts, algorithms, and expert editorial curation using objective criteria, according to multiple media reports. GPT‑5 is available to all users, with Plus subscribers getting more usage and Pro subscribers getting access to GPT‑5 Pro, a version with extended reasoning for even more comprehensive and accurate answers.

OpenAI says it is updating GPT-5 to be more friendly after people complained it was too formal
OpenAI launched its flagship model, GPT-5, a few weeks ago. While everyone was expecting the new model to be significantly better than the last, users have been highlighting its flaws. But why did users criticise GPT-5? The main reason is that users felt the new model is not as capable as the GPT-4o at holding real-life conversations. The move to discontinue GPT-4o shook all users who have been using it for emotional support and connection. Yes, it is as problematic as it sounds. But OpenAI believes in delivering what its users need. Previously, it brought back the GPT-4o and now, OpenAI is updating the GPT-5 to make it more friendly and warm. advertisementTaking on X (aka Twitter), OpenAI has recently posted that the company is working on the latest model to improve its personality. "We're making GPT-5 warmer and friendlier based on feedback that it felt too formal before. Changes are subtle, but ChatGPT should feel more approachable now," the post stated. But how will it change? "You'll notice small, genuine touches like 'Good question' or 'Great start,' not flattery. Internal tests show no rise in sycophancy compared to the previous GPT-5 personality," it added. "Changes may take up to a day to roll out, more updates soon." GPT-5 vs GPT 4o: Which one has a warmer personality? The whole saga kicked off when GPT-5 officially replaced older models last week, only for users to immediately complain that while it might be cleverer, it was also less likeable. GPT-5 is billed as more reliable, with 'PhD-level' skills in coding, maths, writing, and science. It even comes with optional personality settings — Cynic, Robot, Listener, and Nerd — but none seemed to win over long-time fans of the situation, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman had previously said that the GPT-5 has been receiving complaints about it now being friendly, but this changes now. In a post, Altman stated, " You can now choose between 'Auto', 'Fast', and 'Thinking' for GPT-5. Most users will want Auto, but the additional control will be useful for some people." Adding to it, he said, "Rate limits are now 3,000 messages/week with GPT-5 Thinking, and then extra capacity on GPT-5 Thinking mini after that limit. Context limit for GPT-5 Thinking is 196k tokens. We may have to update rate limits over time depending on usage." The "yes man" problemPart of GPT-4o's appeal was, ironically, the very trait that OpenAI had wanted to stamp out: its tendency to act like a sycophantic cheerleader. In April, the company admitted GPT-4o had become 'overly flattering or agreeable' and even 'disingenuous.'But in a podcast recorded before GPT-5's launch, Altman admitted that many users had begged for that behaviour to return. 'Some people had never had anyone support them before,' he said on Huge Conversations, noting that GPT-4o's 'yes man' quality, while flawed, clearly mattered to on the stormy rollout, Altman said the level of emotional connection people feel to AI models is unlike anything he's seen with previous technology. 'It feels different and stronger than the kinds of attachment people have had to previous kinds of technology,' he posted on X. 'Suddenly deprecating old models that users depended on in their workflows was a mistake.'He added that while most users can distinguish reality from fiction, 'a small percentage cannot.' Balancing user freedom with the company's responsibility, he said, remains a 'core principle' as OpenAI continues to roll out new technology.- Ends

Google CEO Sundar Pichai on how AI has changed hiring for engineering and programming jobs: We are making sure ...
Google is bringing back in-person interviews after AI-powered cheating has made virtual hiring unreliable, CEO Sundar Pichai announced. "We are making sure we'll introduce at least one round of in-person interviews for people, just to make sure the fundamentals are there," Pichai said on the Lex Fridman podcast in June. The problem has become so widespread that Google employees are demanding management abandon remote interviews entirely, as software engineering interviews , which involve real-time coding challenges, have become increasingly compromised by candidates using AI tools off-camera to generate answers. During a February internal town hall meeting at Google, employees directly confronted leadership about the issue. "Can we get onsite job interviews back?" one employee asked, according to audio recordings reviewed by CNBC. "There are many email threads about this topic. If budget is a constraint, can we get the candidates to an office or environment we can control?" AI is making virtual interviews easier for job seekers but tougher for companies Brian Ong, Google's vice president of recruiting, admitted the company faces a fundamental challenge. While virtual interviews are two weeks faster and easier to schedule, he acknowledged "we definitely have more work to do to integrate how AI is now more prevalent in the interview process." Some hiring managers report that over 50% of candidates are now cheating in virtual technical interviews. The problem has become so severe that interviewers are instructed to probe candidates extensively to determine if they actually understand their answers. Pichai responded to employee concerns by suggesting a hybrid approach: "Given we all work hybrid, I think it's worth thinking about some fraction of the interviews being in person. I think it'll help both the candidates understand Google's culture and I think it's good for both sides." Google isn't alone, the entire industry is trying to tackle the problem of virtual interviews The challenge extends far beyond Google's headquarters. Ong noted it's "an issue all of our other competitor companies are looking at," highlighting how AI cheating has become an industry-wide crisis threatening the integrity of technical hiring. Anthropic, the maker of AI chatbot Claude, now explicitly prohibits AI use during applications, requiring candidates to demonstrate "non-AI-assisted communication skills" and acknowledge they understand the policy. Amazon has begun requiring candidates to acknowledge they won't use unauthorised tools during interviews, according to company spokesperson who spoke with CNBC. Other major corporations are also implementing new anti-cheating measures. Cisco and McKinsey are among a growing number of companies bringing back or adding face-to-face meetings with candidates at various stages of the interview process. Deloitte reinstated in-person interviews for its UK graduate program. The shift represents a dramatic reversal from pandemic-era hiring practices, forcing companies to choose interview integrity over the convenience and cost savings of virtual recruitment.
