What kind of memory?
Separate working context, recurrent state, learned parameters and persistent storage.
Essentials
How it works
Context contains information supplied for a computation. A recurrent network propagates state across steps. External storage can retain documents and retrieve useful ones for a request. These mechanisms have different capacities and retention guarantees.
Takeaway
A file added to one conversation is not guaranteed to appear in another. Persistence depends on the product and settings; retrieving a document need not retrain the model.
