Pioneering a Hybrid SSM Transformer Architecture - Jamba Foundation Model

Explore a groundbreaking conference talk on the development of Jamba, a novel Foundation Model based on a hybrid Transformer-Mamba mixture-of-experts (MoE) architecture. Delve into the decision-making process behind creating this innovative hybrid structure, and gain insights into its layered composition of SSM, Transformer, and MoE components. Learn how this flexible architecture enables resource- and objective-specific configurations, offering unprecedented throughput and the largest context window of 256K in its size class, while fitting 140K on a single GPU. Discover how Jamba introduces a paradigm shift in large language model development, presented by AI21 Labs CTO Barak Lenz.
