90-98% of the time I want the LLM to only have the knowledge I gave it in the prompt. I'm actually kind of scared that I'll wake up one day and the web interface for ChatGPT/Opus/Gemini will pull information from my prior chats.
I've had claude reference prior conversations when I'm trying to get technical help on thing A, and it will ask me if this conversation is because of thing B that we talked about in the immediate past
All these of these providers support this feature. I don’t know about ChatGPT but the rest are opt-in. I imagine with Gemini it’ll be default on soon enough, since it’s consumer focused. Claude does constantly nag me to enable it though.
Had chatgpt reference 3 prior chats a few days ago. So if you are looking for a total reset of context you probably would need to do a small bit of work.
Claude told me he can disable it by putting instructions in the MEMORY.md file to not use it. So only a soft disable AFAIK and you'd need to do it on each machine.
I ran into this yesterday and disabled it by changing permissions on the project’s memory directory. Claude was unable to advise me on how to disable. You could probably write a global hook for this. Gross though.

They already do this

You can disable this at Settings > Capabilities > Memory > Search and reference chats.
I'm fairly sure OpenAI/GPT does pull prior information in the form of its memories
Ah, that could explain why I've found myself using it the least.
