Can I use pretrained Mamba models with this skill?

Yes, the skill includes workflows for loading and using official pretrained models like mamba-2.8b and mamba-130m from HuggingFace using the mamba-ssm library.

What is the main advantage of Mamba over Transformers?

Mamba offers O(n) linear scaling compared to the quadratic O(n²) complexity of Transformers, enabling significantly faster inference and the ability to process much longer sequences.

What are the hardware requirements for running Mamba?

Mamba requires an NVIDIA GPU with CUDA 11.6 or higher and PyTorch to leverage its hardware-aware optimizations and custom CUDA kernels for maximum efficiency.

Does Mamba require a KV cache for inference?

No, one of Mamba's primary benefits is that it eliminates the need for a KV cache, which dramatically reduces memory consumption during the generation process.
