mamba-minimal

Simple, minimal implementation of Mamba in one file of PyTorch.

Featuring:

• Equivalent numerical output as official implementation for both forward and backward pass
• Simplified, readable, annotated code

Does NOT include:

• Speed. The official implementation is heavily optimized, and these optimizations are core contributions of the Mamba paper. I kept most implementations simple for readability.
• Proper parameter initialization (though this could be added without sacrificing readability)

Demo

See demo.ipynb for examples of prompt completions.

from model import Mamba
from transformers import AutoTokenizer

model = Mamba.from_pretrained('state-spaces/mamba-370m')
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('EleutherAI/gpt-neox-20b')

generate(model, tokenizer, 'Mamba is the')

Mamba is the world's longest venomous snake with an estimated length of over 150 m. With such a large size and a venomous bite, Mamba kills by stabbing the victim (which is more painful and less effective than a single stab of the bite)

150 meters... 🫢 scary!
