When NOT to use mempalace
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- If you are working in an environment where Python 3.9+ is not available, as mempalace requires this version or higher.
- When you need a system that does not require at least 300 MB of disk space for the embedding model, as mempalace requires this minimum space for its recommended multilingual model.
