Mamba's Advantages
- Mamba architecture beats transformers in text modeling loss and scales linearly.
- It introduces dynamic computation, processing tokens differently based on context.
Mamba's Ease of Use
- Mamba is easy to work with and memory-efficient, making it ideal for experimentation.
- It's a drop-in replacement for self-attention blocks, simplifying implementation.
Othello Mamba's Board Representation
- Othello GPT and Othello Mamba learn board game rules from move sequences.
- Mamba achieves higher board state accuracy than GPT, demonstrating stronger representation learning.
