OpenAI's new search engine?
OpenAI’s memory feature might receive an upgrade that inches it closer to the giant search engines. If you have been using ChatGPT, you know it remembers past conversations, often in great detail. The new feature will remember information about the user, from past conversations, such as hobbies, work, or music tastes. A prompt asking “find me some new music” would look through past conversations and rephrase the prompt to find music in a particular genre.
This move is a way for OpenAI to stand out in a crowd of LLMs that have seemingly caught up in many ways. The feature has been rolled out for some users and is expected to be continually rolled out. It can be turned on and off. Gemini and Anthropic have introduced memorization as a part of their product.

Big tech under scrutiny for monopolizing the market
A U.S. judge has ruled that Google broke the law by monopolizing the digital ad market. The court found that the company used its control over both sides of the online ad business — the tools publishers use and the exchange where ads are sold — to shut out competition. This hurt publishers who rely on Google to make money from their websites.
It’s the second major antitrust loss for Google in less than a year. In a separate case, the company was also found to have illegally dominated the search market. The Justice Department now wants Google to break off parts of its ad business — possibly including Ad Manager.
Meanwhile, Meta is in the middle of its own legal battle. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is still trying to undo Meta’s purchases of Instagram and WhatsApp, claiming the deals were made to kill off future competition. Regulators argue that Meta now has a monopoly in what they call “personal social networking.”
Both companies are still facing ongoing legal challenges.
