> Mamba-3 is a new state space model (SSM) designed with inference efficiency as the primary goal — a departure from Mamba-2, which optimized for training speed. The key upgrades are a more expressive recurrence formula, complex-valued state tracking, and a MIMO (multi-input, multi-output) variant that boosts accuracy without slowing down decoding.
Why can’t they simply say -
Mamba-3 focuses on being faster and more efficient when making predictions, rather than just being fast to train like Mamba-2.
- E-Reverance 7mo agoThe first sentence basically does though, no?
- robofanatic 7mo agoOf course my only objection was the language. LLMs are now old enough to leave the jargon behind and talk in simple easy to understand terms.
- oersted 7mo agoI’d argue the opposite, the terminology is fairly mainstream by now and “inference” has a much more specific sense than “making predictions”.
- esquire_900 7mo agoThis is sort of what their first sentence states? Except your line implies that they are fast in training and inference, they imply they are focusing on inference and are dropping training speed for it. It's a nice opening as it is imo
- cubefox 7mo agoThey don't say anything about dropping training speed.
- arendtio 7mo agoI don't get the downvotes, as I had trouble understanding the intro as well. It seems it was written for a very specific audience.
- qeternity 7mo agoYes, it is written for a specific audience. That is not a reason for snark. As other commenters have noted, it’s well written.
- magicalhippo 7mo ago> I don't get the downvotes Because the blog post is a technical one and the intro contains very common jargon, and the proposed alternative was wrong.
- mufasachan 7mo agoThe blog is technical, technical terms in the TL;DR seems relevant to me.
- camillomiller 7mo agoI don’t know why you’re being downvoted. As a longtime editor your version is immensely better. Looks like the original was probably not human-written.
- stavros 7mo agoWhy would the simpler version be better for a technical audience?
- renewiltord 7mo agoFound the guy who made the Windows error messages say “Your computer did an oopsie :(“ instead of including any useful information.
- i000 7mo agoAgreed. What you wrote was probably the input, what we see is the LLM output with the directive to "make us sound smart, put gratuitous em-dash"
