Cause (Documented platform behavior): Mastra checks model.specificationVersion: v1 (AI SDK v4) models only work with generateLegacy()/streamLegacy(); v2 (AI SDK v5) and v3 (AI SDK v6) are supported; other versions are rejected.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Other error fragments:
- which is not compatible with stream(). Please use AI SDK v5+ models or call the streamLegacy() method instead.
- with unrecognized specificationVersion
- Supported versions: v1 (legacy), v2 (AI SDK v5), v3 (AI SDK v6).

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Agent calls fail right away after upgrading Mastra while provider packages are older (spec v1), or when a provider implements a spec version Mastra does not know.
- Context
- Product: Mastra Component: Agent model specification version check Operation: agent.generate()/stream() with an @ai-sdk/* provider package built for AI SDK v4 (or an unknown spec version) Affected versions: unknown Environment: unknown Exception: MastraError Packages: @mastra/core main at pinned SHA Trigger: Mixed dependency versions: @ai-sdk/openai 1.x (v4 era) with current Mastra; or a newer provider spec than the installed Mastra supports.

Proposed fix: [Mastra] Agent.generate()/stream() reject AI SDK v4 providers: "is using AI SDK v4 model ... which is not compatible with generate(). Please use AI SDK v5+ models or call the generateLeg
Recommended action: Upgrade @ai-sdk/* provider packages to AI SDK v5/v6-compatible versions (or use Mastra model router strings), or temporarily call generateLegacy()/streamLegacy(); for unrecognized versions, align the provider with a spec your Mastra version supports.
Option: Align provider package with Mastra-supported spec [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Version mismatch
Steps:
1. npm i @ai-sdk/openai@<v5/v6-compatible>
2. or agent.generateLegacy(...) temporarily
Expected: generate()/stream() work
