SAN FRANCISCO, April 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Anuma today opened to the public with one subscription for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, and other leading AI models, plus a user-owned encrypted memory that carries context across all of them. More than 10,000 people used the product during its beta.

AI has gone mainstream faster than trust, portability, or data ownership have caught up. Stanford HAI’s 2026 AI Index found generative AI hit 53% adoption in three years, faster than the PC or the internet. Meanwhile, Reuters reported this month that lawyers are warning users their chatbot conversations can be used against them in court, and The Economist reported that Anthropic and OpenAI are increasingly locking access to their latest models into proprietary ecosystems. The result is more power in users’ hands and less control over what they give up to use it.

Anuma is built to replace that trade-off. One subscription gives users access to the world’s leading AI models in one place. One encrypted memory carries context across them. And that memory stays under the user’s control, stored locally on their device and separated from model inference.

Article content

Instead of starting over in every new chat, users can move between ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Kimi, Qwen, Gemma, and other models without losing context. Instead of handing over personal history to whichever model they happen to be using that day, users keep their memory encrypted, user-owned, and out of model training.

“Today’s AI products want to trap your context inside their own ecosystem,” said Ankur Nandwani, Core Contributor of Anuma. “We built Anuma so your memory stays yours, no matter which model you use.”

How Anuma Works

Article content

Anuma is built on three core principles:

Article content

  • One memory across all of them. Preferences, projects, writing style, goals, files, and conversation history carry across every session and every supported model.
  • Every model in one app. Users can switch between leading models mid-conversation without losing context or maintaining separate subscriptions.
    Council Mode
    compares answers from several models side by side.
  • Private by default. By default, user data stays on the user’s device, with sensitive content encrypted before it is stored. Anuma cannot decrypt user content, even with full server access.
