+# Observational Memory
+
+**Added in:** `@mastra/memory@1.1.0`
+
+Observational Memory (OM) is Mastra's memory system for long-context agentic memory. Two background agents — an **Observer** that watches conversations and creates observations, and a **Reflector** that restructures observations by combining related items, reflecting on overarching patterns, and condensing where possible — maintain an observation log that replaces raw message history as it grows.
+
+## Usage
+
+```typescript
+import { Memory } from '@mastra/memory'
+import { Agent } from '@mastra/core/agent'
+
+export const agent = new Agent({
+  name: 'my-agent',
+  instructions: 'You are a helpful assistant.',
+  model: 'openai/gpt-5-mini',
+  memory: new Memory({
+    options: {
+      observationalMemory: true,
+    },
+  }),
+})
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+The `observationalMemory` option accepts `true`, a configuration object, or `false`. Setting `true` enables OM with `google/gemini-2.5-flash` as the default model. When passing a config object, a `model` must be explicitly set — either at the top level, or on `observation.model` and/or `reflection.model`.
+
+**enabled?:** (`boolean`): Enable or disable Observational Memory. When omitted from a config object, defaults to \`true\`. Only \`enabled: false\` explicitly disables it. (Default: `true`)
+
+**model?:** (`string | LanguageModel | DynamicModel | ModelWithRetries[]`): Model for both the Observer and Reflector agents. Sets the model for both at once. Cannot be used together with \`observation.model\` or \`reflection.model\` — an error will be thrown if both are set. When using \`observationalMemory: true\`, defaults to \`google/gemini-2.5-flash\`. When passing a config object, this or \`observation.model\`/\`reflection.model\` must be set. Use \`"default"\` to explicitly use the default model (\`google/gemini-2.5-flash\`). (Default: `'google/gemini-2.5-flash' (when using observationalMemory: true)`)
+
+**scope?:** (`'resource' | 'thread'`): Memory scope for observations. \`'thread'\` keeps observations per-thread. \`'resource'\` (experimental) shares observations across all threads for a resource, enabling cross-conversation memory. (Default: `'thread'`)
+
+**shareTokenBudget?:** (`boolean`): Share the token budget between messages and observations. When enabled, the total budget is \`observation.messageTokens + reflection.observationTokens\`. Messages can use more space when observations are small, and vice versa. This maximizes context usage through flexible allocation. \*\*Note:\*\* \`shareTokenBudget\` is not yet compatible with async buffering. You must set \`observation: { bufferTokens: false }\` when using this option (this is a temporary limitation). (Default: `false`)
+
+**observation?:** (`ObservationalMemoryObservationConfig`): Configuration for the observation step. Controls when the Observer agent runs and how it behaves.
+
+**reflection?:** (`ObservationalMemoryReflectionConfig`): Configuration for the reflection step. Controls when the Reflector agent runs and how it behaves.
+
+### Observation config
+
+**model?:** (`string | LanguageModel | DynamicModel | ModelWithRetries[]`): Model for the Observer agent. Cannot be set if a top-level \`model\` is also provided. If neither this nor the top-level \`model\` is set, falls back to \`reflection.model\`.
+
+**instruction?:** (`string`): Custom instruction appended to the Observer's system prompt. Use this to customize what the Observer focuses on, such as domain-specific preferences or priorities.
+
+**messageTokens?:** (`number`): Token count of unobserved messages that triggers observation. When unobserved message tokens exceed this threshold, the Observer agent is called. (Default: `30000`)
+
+**maxTokensPerBatch?:** (`number`): Maximum tokens per batch when observing multiple threads in resource scope. Threads are chunked into batches of this size and processed in parallel. Lower values mean more parallelism but more API calls. (Default: `10000`)
+
+**modelSettings?:** (`ObservationalMemoryModelSettings`): Model settings for the Observer agent. (Default: `{ temperature: 0.3, maxOutputTokens: 100_000 }`)
+
+**bufferTokens?:** (`number | false`): Token interval for async background observation buffering. Can be an absolute token count (e.g. \`5000\`) or a fraction of \`messageTokens\` (e.g. \`0.25\` = buffer every 25% of threshold). When set, observations run in the background at this interval, storing results in a buffer. When the main \`messageTokens\` threshold is reached, buffered observations activate instantly without a blocking LLM call. Must resolve to less than \`messageTokens\`. Set to \`false\` to explicitly disable all async buffering (both observation and reflection). (Default: `0.2`)
+
+**bufferActivation?:** (`number`): Controls how much of the message window to retain after activation. Accepts a ratio (0-1) or an absolute token count (≥ 1000). For example, \`0.8\` means: activate enough buffers to remove 80% of \`messageTokens\` and leave 20% as active message history. An absolute token count like \`4000\` targets a goal of keeping \~4k message tokens remaining after activation. Higher values remove more message history per activation when using a ratio. Higher values keep more message history when using a token count. (Default: `0.8`)
+
+**blockAfter?:** (`number`): Token threshold above which synchronous (blocking) observation is forced. Between \`messageTokens\` and \`blockAfter\`, only async buffering/activation is used. Above \`blockAfter\`, a synchronous observation runs as a last resort, while buffered activation still preserves a minimum remaining context (min(1000, retention floor)). Accepts a multiplier (1 < value < 2, multiplied by \`messageTokens\`) or an absolute token count (≥ 2, must be greater than \`messageTokens\`). Only relevant when \`bufferTokens\` is set. Defaults to \`1.2\` when async buffering is enabled. (Default: `1.2 (when bufferTokens is set)`)
+
+### Reflection config
+
+**model?:** (`string | LanguageModel | DynamicModel | ModelWithRetries[]`): Model for the Reflector agent. Cannot be set if a top-level \`model\` is also provided. If neither this nor the top-level \`model\` is set, falls back to \`observation.model\`.
+
+**instruction?:** (`string`): Custom instruction appended to the Reflector's system prompt. Use this to customize how the Reflector consolidates observations, such as prioritizing certain types of information.
+
+**observationTokens?:** (`number`): Token count of observations that triggers reflection. When observation tokens exceed this threshold, the Reflector agent is called to condense them. (Default: `40000`)
+
+**modelSettings?:** (`ObservationalMemoryModelSettings`): Model settings for the Reflector agent. (Default: `{ temperature: 0, maxOutputTokens: 100_000 }`)
+
+**bufferActivation?:** (`number`): Ratio (0-1) controlling when async reflection buffering starts. When observation tokens reach \`observationTokens \* bufferActivation\`, reflection runs in the background. On activation at the full threshold, the buffered reflection replaces the observations it covers, preserving any new observations appended after that range. (Default: `0.5`)
+
+**blockAfter?:** (`number`): Token threshold above which synchronous (blocking) reflection is forced. Between \`observationTokens\` and \`blockAfter\`, only async buffering/activation is used. Above \`blockAfter\`, a synchronous reflection runs as a last resort. Accepts a multiplier (1 < value < 2, multiplied by \`observationTokens\`) or an absolute token count (≥ 2, must be greater than \`observationTokens\`). Only relevant when \`bufferActivation\` is set. Defaults to \`1.2\` when async reflection is enabled. (Default: `1.2 (when bufferActivation is set)`)
+
+### Model settings
+
+**temperature?:** (`number`): Temperature for generation. Lower values produce more consistent output. (Default: `0.3`)
+
+**maxOutputTokens?:** (`number`): Maximum output tokens. Set high to prevent truncation of observations. (Default: `100000`)
+
+## Examples
+
+### Resource scope with custom thresholds (experimental)
+
+```typescript
+import { Memory } from '@mastra/memory'
+import { Agent } from '@mastra/core/agent'
+
+export const agent = new Agent({
+  name: 'my-agent',
+  instructions: 'You are a helpful assistant.',
+  model: 'openai/gpt-5-mini',
+  memory: new Memory({
+    options: {
+      observationalMemory: {
+        model: 'google/gemini-2.5-flash',
+        scope: 'resource',
+        observation: {
+          messageTokens: 20_000,
+        },
+        reflection: {
+          observationTokens: 60_000,
+        },
+      },
+    },
+  }),
+})
+```
+
+### Shared token budget
+
+```typescript
+import { Memory } from '@mastra/memory'
+import { Agent } from '@mastra/core/agent'
+
+export const agent = new Agent({
+  name: 'my-agent',
+  instructions: 'You are a helpful assistant.',
+  model: 'openai/gpt-5-mini',
+  memory: new Memory({
+    options: {
+      observationalMemory: {
+        shareTokenBudget: true,
+        observation: {
+          messageTokens: 20_000,
+          bufferTokens: false, // required when using shareTokenBudget (temporary limitation)
+        },
+        reflection: {
+          observationTokens: 80_000,
+        },
+      },
+    },
+  }),
+})
+```
+
+When `shareTokenBudget` is enabled, the total budget is `observation.messageTokens + reflection.observationTokens` (100k in this example). If observations only use 30k tokens, messages can expand to use up to 70k. If messages are short, observations have more room before triggering reflection.
+
+### Custom model
+
+```typescript
+import { Memory } from '@mastra/memory'
+import { Agent } from '@mastra/core/agent'
+
+export const agent = new Agent({
+  name: 'my-agent',
+  instructions: 'You are a helpful assistant.',
+  model: 'openai/gpt-5-mini',
+  memory: new Memory({
+    options: {
+      observationalMemory: {
+        model: 'openai/gpt-4o-mini',
+      },
+    },
+  }),
+})
+```
+
+### Different models per agent
+
+```typescript
+import { Memory } from '@mastra/memory'
+import { Agent } from '@mastra/core/agent'
+
+export const agent = new Agent({
+  name: 'my-agent',
+  instructions: 'You are a helpful assistant.',
+  model: 'openai/gpt-5-mini',
+  memory: new Memory({
+    options: {
+      observationalMemory: {
+        observation: {
+          model: 'google/gemini-2.5-flash',
+        },
+        reflection: {
+          model: 'openai/gpt-4o-mini',
+        },
+      },
+    },
+  }),
+})
+```
+
+### Custom instructions
+
+Customize what the Observer and Reflector focus on by providing custom instructions:
+
+```typescript
+import { Memory } from '@mastra/memory'
+import { Agent } from '@mastra/core/agent'
+
+export const agent = new Agent({
+  name: 'health-assistant',
+  instructions: 'You are a health and wellness assistant.',
+  model: 'openai/gpt-5-mini',
+  memory: new Memory({
+    options: {
+      observationalMemory: {
+        model: 'google/gemini-2.5-flash',
+        observation: {
+          // Focus observations on health-related preferences and goals
+          instruction:
+            'Prioritize capturing user health goals, dietary restrictions, exercise preferences, and medical considerations. Avoid capturing general chit-chat.',
+        },
+        reflection: {
+          // Guide reflection to consolidate health patterns
+          instruction:
+            'When consolidating, group related health information together. Preserve specific metrics, dates, and medical details.',
+        },
+      },
+    },
+  }),
+})
+```
+
+### Async buffering
+
+Async buffering is **enabled by default**. It pre-computes observations in the background as the conversation grows — when the `messageTokens` threshold is reached, buffered observations activate instantly with no blocking LLM call.
+
+The lifecycle is: **buffer → activate → remove messages → repeat**. Background Observer calls run at `bufferTokens` intervals, each producing a chunk of observations. At threshold, chunks activate: observations move into the log, raw messages are removed from context. The `blockAfter` threshold forces a synchronous fallback if buffering can't keep up.
+
+Default settings:
+
+- `observation.bufferTokens: 0.2` — buffer every 20% of `messageTokens` (e.g. every \~6k tokens with a 30k threshold)
+- `observation.bufferActivation: 0.8` — on activation, remove enough messages to keep only 20% of the threshold remaining
+- Buffered observations include continuation hints (`suggestedResponse`, `currentTask`) that survive activation to maintain conversational continuity
+- `reflection.bufferActivation: 0.5` — start background reflection at 50% of observation threshold
+
+To customize:
+
+```typescript
+import { Memory } from '@mastra/memory'
+import { Agent } from '@mastra/core/agent'
+
+export const agent = new Agent({
+  name: 'my-agent',
+  instructions: 'You are a helpful assistant.',
+  model: 'openai/gpt-5-mini',
+  memory: new Memory({
+    options: {
+      observationalMemory: {
+        model: 'google/gemini-2.5-flash',
+        observation: {
+          messageTokens: 30_000,
+          // Buffer every 5k tokens (runs in background)
+          bufferTokens: 5_000,
+          // Activate to retain 30% of threshold
+          bufferActivation: 0.7,
+          // Force synchronous observation at 1.5x threshold
+          blockAfter: 1.5,
+        },
+        reflection: {
+          observationTokens: 60_000,
+          // Start background reflection at 50% of threshold
+          bufferActivation: 0.5,
+          // Force synchronous reflection at 1.2x threshold
+          blockAfter: 1.2,
+        },
+      },
+    },
+  }),
+})
+```
+
+To disable async buffering entirely:
+
+```typescript
+observationalMemory: {
+  model: "google/gemini-2.5-flash",
+  observation: {
+    bufferTokens: false,
+  },
+}
+```
+
+Setting `bufferTokens: false` disables both observation and reflection async buffering. Observations and reflections will run synchronously when their thresholds are reached.
+
+> **Note:** Async buffering is not supported with `scope: 'resource'` and is automatically disabled in resource scope.
+
+## Streaming data parts
+
+Observational Memory emits typed data parts during agent execution that clients can use for real-time UI feedback. These are streamed alongside the agent's response.
+
+### `data-om-status`
+
+Emitted once per agent loop step, before model generation. Provides a snapshot of the current memory state, including token usage for both context windows and the state of any async buffered content.
+
+```typescript
+interface DataOmStatusPart {
+  type: 'data-om-status'
+  data: {
+    windows: {
+      active: {
+        /** Unobserved message tokens and the threshold that triggers observation */
+        messages: { tokens: number; threshold: number }
+        /** Observation tokens and the threshold that triggers reflection */
+        observations: { tokens: number; threshold: number }
+      }
+      buffered: {
+        observations: {
+          /** Number of buffered chunks staged for activation */
+          chunks: number
+          /** Total message tokens across all buffered chunks */
+          messageTokens: number
+          /** Projected message tokens that would be removed if activation happened now (based on bufferActivation ratio and chunk boundaries) */
+          projectedMessageRemoval: number
+          /** Observation tokens that will be added on activation */
+          observationTokens: number
+          /** idle: no buffering in progress. running: background observer is working. complete: chunks are ready for activation. */
+          status: 'idle' | 'running' | 'complete'
+        }
+        reflection: {
+          /** Observation tokens that were fed into the reflector (pre-compression size) */
+          inputObservationTokens: number
+          /** Observation tokens the reflection will produce on activation (post-compression size) */
+          observationTokens: number
+          /** idle: no reflection buffered. running: background reflector is working. complete: reflection is ready for activation. */
+          status: 'idle' | 'running' | 'complete'
+        }
+      }
+    }
+    recordId: string
+    threadId: string
+    stepNumber: number
+    /** Increments each time the Reflector creates a new generation */
+    generationCount: number
+  }
+}
+```
+
+`buffered.reflection.inputObservationTokens` is the size of the observations that were sent to the Reflector. `buffered.reflection.observationTokens` is the compressed result — the size of what will replace those observations when the reflection activates. A client can use these two values to show a compression ratio.
+
+Clients can derive percentages and post-activation estimates from the raw values:
+
+```typescript
+// Message window usage %
+const msgPercent = status.windows.active.messages.tokens / status.windows.active.messages.threshold
+
+// Observation window usage %
+const obsPercent =
+  status.windows.active.observations.tokens / status.windows.active.observations.threshold
+
+// Projected message tokens after buffered observations activate
+// Uses projectedMessageRemoval which accounts for bufferActivation ratio and chunk boundaries
+const postActivation =
+  status.windows.active.messages.tokens -
+  status.windows.buffered.observations.projectedMessageRemoval
+
+// Reflection compression ratio (when buffered reflection exists)
+const { inputObservationTokens, observationTokens } = status.windows.buffered.reflection
+if (inputObservationTokens > 0) {
+  const compressionRatio = observationTokens / inputObservationTokens
+}
+```

+
+## Standalone usage
+
+Most users should use the `Memory` class above. Using `ObservationalMemory` directly is mainly useful for benchmarking, experimentation, or when you need to control processor ordering with other processors (like [guardrails](https://mastra.ai/docs/agents/guardrails)).
+
+```typescript
+import { ObservationalMemory } from '@mastra/memory/processors'
+import { Agent } from '@mastra/core/agent'
+import { LibSQLStore } from '@mastra/libsql'
+
+const storage = new LibSQLStore({
+  id: 'my-storage',
+  url: 'file:./memory.db',
+})
+
+const om = new ObservationalMemory({
+  storage: storage.stores.memory,
+  model: 'google/gemini-2.5-flash',
+  scope: 'resource',
+  observation: {
+    messageTokens: 20_000,
+  },
+  reflection: {
+    observationTokens: 60_000,
+  },
+})
+
+export const agent = new Agent({
+  name: 'my-agent',
+  instructions: 'You are a helpful assistant.',
+  model: 'openai/gpt-5-mini',
+  inputProcessors: [om],
+  outputProcessors: [om],
+})
+```
+
+### Standalone config
+
+The standalone `ObservationalMemory` class accepts all the same options as the `observationalMemory` config object above, plus the following:
+
+**storage:** (`MemoryStorage`): Storage adapter for persisting observations. Must be a MemoryStorage instance (from \`MastraStorage.stores.memory\`).
+
+**onDebugEvent?:** (`(event: ObservationDebugEvent) => void`): Debug callback for observation events. Called whenever observation-related events occur. Useful for debugging and understanding the observation flow.
+
+**obscureThreadIds?:** (`boolean`): When enabled, thread IDs are hashed before being included in observation context. This prevents the LLM from recognizing patterns in thread identifiers. Automatically enabled when using resource scope through the Memory class. (Default: `false`)

+# OtelBridge
+
+> **Warning:** The OpenTelemetry Bridge is currently **experimental**. APIs and configuration options may change in future releases.
+
+Enables bidirectional integration between Mastra tracing and OpenTelemetry infrastructure. Creates native OTEL spans for Mastra operations and inherits context from active OTEL spans.
+
+## Constructor
+
+```typescript
+new OtelBridge()
+```
+
+## Methods
+
+### executeInContext
+
+```typescript
+executeInContext<T>(spanId: string, fn: () => Promise<T>): Promise<T>
+```
+
+Executes an async function within the OTEL context of a Mastra span. OTEL-instrumented code running inside the function will have correct parent relationships.
+
+**Returns:** `Promise<T>` - The result of the function execution.
+
+### executeInContextSync
+
+```typescript
+executeInContextSync<T>(spanId: string, fn: () => T): T
+```
+
+Executes a synchronous function within the OTEL context of a Mastra span.
+
+**Returns:** `T` - The result of the function execution.
+
+### shutdown
+
+```typescript
+async shutdown(): Promise<void>
+```
+
+Shuts down the bridge and cleans up resources. Ends any spans that were not properly closed.
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```typescript
+import { Mastra } from '@mastra/core'
+import { Observability } from '@mastra/observability'
+import { OtelBridge } from '@mastra/otel-bridge'
+
+const mastra = new Mastra({
+  observability: new Observability({
+    configs: {
+      default: {
+        serviceName: 'my-service',
+        bridge: new OtelBridge(),
+      },
+    },
+  }),
+  agents: { myAgent },
+})
+```
+
+### Combined with Exporters
+
+The bridge can be used alongside exporters. The bridge handles OTEL context, while exporters send data to additional destinations:
+
+```typescript
+import { Mastra } from '@mastra/core'
+import { Observability, DefaultExporter } from '@mastra/observability'
+import { OtelBridge } from '@mastra/otel-bridge'
+import { LangfuseExporter } from '@mastra/langfuse'
+
+const mastra = new Mastra({
+  observability: new Observability({
+    configs: {
+      default: {
+        serviceName: 'my-service',
+        bridge: new OtelBridge(), // Handles OTEL context
+        exporters: [
+          new DefaultExporter(), // Studio access
+          new LangfuseExporter({
+            // Additional destination
+            publicKey: process.env.LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEY,
+            secretKey: process.env.LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEY,
+          }),
+        ],
+      },
+    },
+  }),
+})
+```
+
+## OpenTelemetry Setup Requirements
+
+The OtelBridge requires an active OpenTelemetry SDK to function. The bridge reads from OTEL's ambient context.
+
+See the [OtelBridge Guide](https://mastra.ai/docs/observability/tracing/bridges/otel) for complete setup instructions, including how to configure OTEL instrumentation and run your application.
+
+## Tags Support
+
+The OtelBridge supports trace tagging for categorization and filtering. Tags are only applied to root spans and are included as the `mastra.tags` attribute on native OTEL spans.
+
+### Usage
+
+```typescript
+const result = await agent.generate('Hello', {
+  tracingOptions: {
+    tags: ['production', 'experiment-v2', 'user-request'],
+  },
+})
+```
+
+### How Tags Are Stored
+
+Tags are stored as a JSON-stringified array in the `mastra.tags` span attribute:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mastra.tags": "[\"production\",\"experiment-v2\",\"user-request\"]"
+}
+```
+
+This format ensures compatibility with all OTEL-compatible backends and collectors.
