## Beta Features & Endless Mode
> **Note**: Endless Mode is an **experimental feature in the beta branch only**. It is not included in the stable release you install via the marketplace. You must manually switch to the beta channel to try it, and it comes with significant caveats (see below).
Claude-Mem offers a **beta channel** with experimental features. Switch between stable and beta versions directly from the web viewer UI.
### How to Try Beta

Archive Memory (Disk): Full tool outputs preserved for recall
```
**Expected Results**:
- ~95% token reduction in context window
- ~20x more tool uses before context exhaustion
**Projected Results** (based on theoretical modeling, not production measurements):
- Significant token reduction in context window
- More tool uses before context exhaustion
- Linear O(N) scaling instead of quadratic O(N²)
- Full transcripts preserved for perfect recall
**Caveats**: Adds latency (60-90s per tool for observation generation), still experimental.
**Important Caveats**:
- **Not in stable release** - You must switch to beta branch to use this feature
- **Still in development** - May have bugs, breaking changes, or incomplete functionality
- **Slower than standard mode** - Blocking observation generation adds latency to each tool use
- **Theoretical projections** - The efficiency claims above are based on simulations, not real-world production data
See [Beta Features Documentation](https://docs.claude-mem.ai/beta-features) for details.
