Mamba is a PyTorch library implementing the selective state space model (SSM) architecture for linear-time sequence modeling, with hardware-aware CUDA kernels. It serves as an efficient alternative to Transformers for language modeling and other information-dense sequence tasks.

Use cases

• train a state space model for language modeling
• replace transformers with linear-time sequence models
• run efficient long-context sequence inference
• implement Mamba SSM layers in a PyTorch model
• experiment with subquadratic sequence modeling architectures

When to choose

• you need linear-time scaling for very long sequences
• you want a Transformer alternative with competitive language modeling performance
• you have a CUDA GPU and want hardware-aware efficient SSM kernels

When to avoid

• you need the broad ecosystem and tooling support of standard Transformers
• you have no GPU and cannot compile CUDA extensions
• you need off-the-shelf pretrained models for a quick application build
