Claude now has memory, but only for certain users

Mashable - Sun, 09/14/2025 - 15:16

Claude introduced memory this week, but only for certain paid users of the AI model.

Days after Anthropic announced that Claude can make spreadsheets and decks, it introduced a memory feature for those on Team and Enterprise plans. The AI model now "remembers you and your team's projects and preferences," Anthropic stated in a blog post released on Thursday.

SEE ALSO: Anthropic launches Claude Chrome extension: How to try it

Claude's memory functionality isn't available for free users or those paying for its individual Pro or Max plans. Anthropic, however, also announced the release of incognito chats (the same idea as Chrome's incognito window), which are available for all users. These chats don't appear in one's conversation history or save to memory.

For users paying for Claude at work, the model now "remembers" professional contexts, including client needs and project details, as well as your team's patterns, like your processes. Claude will also create a separate memory for each project, if you use the projects feature (a "self-contained" workspace with its own chat related to that subject).

Memory has "new safety considerations," according to Anthropic, that are designed to be used for work and avoid archiving sensitive conversations and topics, but the blog post doesn't go into specifics. Anthropic will evaluate and test how the memory function works before expanding it to other users.

For those on the Team and Enterprise plans, Claude memory can be enabled in the app's settings. There, you can see exactly what Claude remembers, according to the blog post, and adjust "memory summaries" to focus on or ignore some details. Enterprise admins can also disable memory for all users under their plan at any time.

Users can also import memory from other AI programs into Claude, or export their Claude memory. Given that Google Gemini and ChatGPT have long had memory — and even expanded the feature over time — this is a step towards Anthropic catching up.

Disclosure: Ziff Davis, Mashable's parent company, in April filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging it infringed Ziff Davis copyrights in training and operating its AI systems.

Mashable - Sun, 09/14/2025 - 12:11

Connections: Sports Edition is a new version of the popular New York Times word game that seeks to test the knowledge of sports fans.

Like the original Connections, the game is all about finding the "common threads between words." And just like Wordle, Connections resets after midnight and each new set of words gets trickier and trickier—so we've served up some hints and tips to get you over the hurdle.

If you just want to be told today's puzzle, you can jump to the end of this article for the latest Connections solution. But if you'd rather solve it yourself, keep reading for some clues, tips, and strategies to assist you.

The NYT's latest daily word game has launched in association with The Athletic, the New York Times property that provides the publication's sports coverage. Connections can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices and require players to group four words that share something in common.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Each puzzle features 16 words and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise of anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there's only one correct answer.

If a player gets all four words in a set correct, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong and it counts as a mistake—players get up to four mistakes until the game ends.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Players can also rearrange and shuffle the board to make spotting connections easier. Additionally, each group is color-coded with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Like Wordle, you can share the results with your friends on social media.

Mashable - Sun, 09/14/2025 - 11:53

If you're reading this, you're looking for a little help playing Strands, the New York Times' elevated word-search game.

Strands requires the player to perform a twist on the classic word search. Words can be made from linked letters — up, down, left, right, or diagonal, but words can also change direction, resulting in quirky shapes and patterns. Every single letter in the grid will be part of an answer. There's always a theme linking every solution, along with the "spangram," a special, word or phrase that sums up that day's theme, and spans the entire grid horizontally or vertically.

By providing an opaque hint and not providing the word list, Strands creates a brain-teasing game that takes a little longer to play than its other games, like Wordle and Connections.
