Anthropic now ships at least three different memory models inside the Claude product family, and they don't behave the same way. Claude.ai has a chat memory feature for Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise users that summarizes prior conversations and injects that summary into new chats. Claude Code has CLAUDE.md files plus a separate "auto memory" directory the model writes to itself, both loaded at se
