Memory Operator is a specialized language model developed for MemOS, designed to handle memory-related operations. Its core capabilities include memory extraction, integration, and update. The primary objectives for developing the Memory Operator sub-model are:

Support local-only deployment, enabling the use of MemOS in restricted environments where internet connectivity is unavailable.
Achieve memory operations at lower cost and higher speed, while maintaining high system performance.

We are releasing the MemOperator model series in three sizes: 4B, 1.7B, and 0.6B parameters. These models are fine-tuned from the Qwen3 series, trained using supervised fine-tuning (SFT) on a combination of human-annotated and model-generated data. They demonstrate excellent performance in tasks such as memory extraction and reorganization.

Currently, the memory operation model supports memory extraction and clustering-based memory reorganization within the MemOS system. Conflict resolution and relational reasoning are under active development (WIP).

Key Features

Type: Causal Language Model (Decoder-only)
Training Stage: Supervised Fine-tuning (SFT)
Supported Languages: English (en), Chinese (zh)
Number of Parameters: 4B, 1.7B, 0.6B
Context Length: 32,768 tokens

Highlights

🚀 Faster and More Efficient Memory Operations

Memory Operator is optimized for fast and accurate memory handling, enabling real-time processing in local environments.

🧠 Comprehensive Memory Management

Memory Extraction: Supports extraction of high-quality memories from both conversations and documents, including summarization of document snippets.
Memory Reorganization: Implements clustering-based reorganization to group and integrate related memories, enhancing long-term memory coherence.

💻 High System Performance with Low Resource Usage

The 4B model delivers performance that surpasses GPT-4o-mini while remaining deployable on most consumer-grade hardware.
The smaller 1.7B and 0.6B variants retain strong performance, making them ideal for edge devices and low-latency applications.

🌍 Multilingual Support

Supports memory extraction in both Chinese and English.
Effectively follows instructions in the input language, ensuring accurate and context-aware outputs.

Performance

Memory Extraction & Integration Evaluation (locomo benchmark)

Model	Overall	Temporal Reasoning	Multi-Hop	Single-Hop	Open-Domain
Qwen3-32B	0.7675	0.7103	0.6702	0.8442	0.5729
Qwen3-14B	0.7370	0.6822	0.6631	0.8002	0.5833
MemOperator-4B	0.7714	0.8037	0.6737	0.8180	0.5416
MemOperator-1.7B	0.7571	0.8068	0.6560	0.7955	0.5521
MemOperator-0.6B	0.6753	0.6635	0.5780	0.7325	0.5000
GPT-4o-mini	0.7405	0.7217	0.6844	0.7864	0.5659

✅ Key Advantage:
By replacing large open-source models (e.g., Qwen3-32B) with MemOperator-4B, you can achieve comparable or better memory processing performance while reducing resource consumption by over 80% (4B vs 32B). This enables efficient, scalable, and cost-effective deployment.

Usage

MemOS Integration Guide

You can easily configure MemOS to use the trained MemReader model for memory extraction.

1. Install MemOS via pip

pip install MemoryOS

2. Initialize a MemOperator and Extract Memory

Python

# Save document for testing
with open("tmp.txt", "w") as f:
    f.write(
        "Lou Henry Hoover (March 29, 1874 – January 7, 1944) was an American philanthropist, geologist, and the first lady of the United States from 1929 to 1933 as the wife of President Herbert Hoover. She was active in community organizations and volunteer groups throughout her life, including the Girl Scouts of the USA, which she led from 1922 to 1925 and from 1935 to 1937. Throughout her life, Hoover supported women's rights and women's independence. She was a polyglot, fluent in Mandarin and well-versed in Latin, and was the primary translator from Latin to English of the complex 16th-century metallurgy text De re metallica."
