You can ask it for a summary of the chat and it summaries the conversation. So this is some indication that it is probably summarizing the conversation as you go for the longer context, and using the full conversation for the previous last few messages.

Try making a long conversation and then asking it what the first message was

I think it can make a summary of any text; I’m not sure that’s proof that it’s explicitly using written summaries to track the conversation.

And humans also typically can’t recite the first message in a conversation from memory. That doesn’t mean they have no memory at all, or that their memory takes the form of continually reciting and updating a written summary of the conversation.

I’d be curious to hear OpenAI’s response to OP’s question.

- Ask as summary

- Change a detail

- Ask the summary

The details doesn't change. I thin it associate "summary" to some fixe value once you ask.
