# CMBA-768M-FineWeb
A 768M parameter Hierarchical Recurrent Memory (HRM) language model trained on high-quality web text from FineWeb-Edu. This model uses **Mamba2 state-space models** instead of traditional attention mechanisms, enabling efficient long-range sequence modeling.
## Model Architecture
**CMBA** (Causal Mamba-based Architecture) implements a hierarchical processing structure:
- **Hierarchical Design**: Dual-level processing with H-layers (high-level abstraction) and L-layers (low-level specialists)
- **Mamba2 Mixers**: State-space models replace attention for O(n) complexity vs O(n²)
- **Adaptive Computation**: Halting mechanism allows variable compute per token (ACT-style pondering)
- **Parameters**: ~768M total
- **Context Length**: 1024 tokens
### Configuration
```python
Model Dimensions:
- d_model: 768
- n_heads: 12 (for compatibility, not used in Mamba)
- d_ff: 3072
- H_layers: 12 (high-level hierarchy)
- L_layers: 12 (low-level processing)
Mamba2 Settings:
- d_state: 128
- expand: 2
- headdim: 64
- d_conv: 4
- ngroups: 1
Training:
- Max halt steps: 8
- Block size: 1024
- Batch size: 32 (effective)
- Learning rate: 0.0002 → 1e-06
- Weight decay: 0.1
```
## Training Data
- **Dataset**: [HuggingFaceFW/fineweb-edu](https://huggingface.co/datasets/HuggingFaceFW/fineweb-edu) (sample-10BT)
- **Tokenizer**: `t5-small` (T5 SentencePiece)
- **Vocab Size**: 32100
## Latest Performance (Epoch 2)
- **Validation Loss**: `8.1216`
- **Validation Perplexity**: `3366.37`
## Usage
```python
from transformers import T5Tokenizer
from hrm_text1_modeling import HRMText1
tokenizer = T5Tokenizer.from_pretrained("t5-small")
model = HRMText1.from_pretrained("Viharikvs/CMBA-768M-FineWeb")
# Generate text
input_ids = tokenizer("Once upon a time", return_tensors="pt").input_ids
outputs = model.generate(input_ids, max_length=100)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))
```
