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!
