Meta AI researcher Yann LeCun is distancing himself from the Llama models. In a recent post on X, LeCun said he "has not been involved in any Llama," except for a "very indirect" role in Llama 1 and pushing for the open-source release of Llama 2. He explained that since early 2023, Llama 2, 3, and 4 have been developed by Meta's GenAI team, which has since been replaced by the TBD Lab.

Anthropic is rolling out a new memory feature for Claude on the Pro and Max plans. With Claude Memory, the system remembers project content, user preferences, and workflows to keep context consistent across conversations. Each project gets its own separate memory, so confidential topics stay isolated. Users can review and edit what Claude remembers at any time, and there's also an "incognito chat" option that doesn't save data or appear in the chat history.
The feature is optional and can be turned on in the settings. Before launch, Anthropic said in a blog post it tested the storage function in sensitive areas, like making sure it wouldn't reinforce harmful conversation patterns or bypass safety features, and made adjustments as needed. The feature has been available for Team and Enterprise users since September.
OpenAI has acquired Software Applications Incorporated (SAI), the team behind the Mac app Sky. Sky is built as an AI language interface for Mac that understands context, adapts to what users want to do, and works directly with other apps. ChatGPT CEO Nick Turley says the aim is to make ChatGPT a more natural part of daily Mac workflows and help users get things done. The entire Sky team is moving to OpenAI to focus on deeper integration of its technology with the Mac. The project lines up with OpenAI's broader push for ChatGPT-powered automation.
The deal was reviewed and approved by independent board committees. Sam Altman, OpenAI's CEO, previously held a passive stake in Sky through an investment company. SAI also created Workflow, the iPhone app that Apple later turned into Shortcuts.
