Google Updates NotebookLM with 8x Larger Context Window, 6x Longer Conversation Memory, & More

From Google:

We’re rolling out changes to NotebookLM to make it fundamentally smarter and more powerful. First, a set of back-end improvements provide a major boost to performance and quality, and second, we are expanding the ability to set goals for your notebook, allowing each notebook to adapt to your needs. Here’s what’s new.

We have significantly expanded NotebookLM’s processing capabilities, conversation context and history. Starting today, we’re enabling the full 1 million token context window of Gemini in NotebookLM chat across all plans, significantly improving our performance when analyzing large document collections. Plus, we’ve increased our capacity for multiturn conversation more than sixfold, so you can get more coherent and relevant results over extended interactions.

We have enhanced how NotebookLM finds information in your sources. To help you uncover new connections, it now automatically explores your sources from multiple angles, going beyond your initial prompt to synthesize findings into a single, more nuanced response.

To support long-term projects, your conversations will now be automatically saved. You can now close a session and resume it later without losing your conversation history.

Now available to all users, you can customize chat to adopt a specific goal, voice or role — ranging from a PhD student analyzing sources to a creative storyteller exploring ideas. To get started, click the configuration icon in the chat.
