Episode notes

The chapter dives into the importance of sizing up model parameters and experimenting with different state space models like Mamba, comparing them in terms of performance and training efficiency. It delves into the concept of interpretability in AI, the challenges faced in noisy environments, and the potential of hybrid models like the Mamba former. The discussion also covers the application of mixture of experts in deep learning models, highlighting successful outcomes and the balance between efficiency and parameter complexity.

In this first part of a two episode series, Nathan and AI scout Jason Meaux provide a sweeping overview of the first 90 days of Mamba-inspired research. They discuss the mechanistic underpinnings of Mamba architecture, Mamba's context capabilities, multi-modal applications in image segmentation and computer vision tasks, and much more.
