# Mamba

[Mamba](https://huggingface.co/papers/2312.00752) is a selective structured state space model (SSMs) designed to work around Transformers computational inefficiency when dealing with long sequences.  It is a completely attention-free architecture, and comprised of a combination of H3 and gated MLP blocks (Mamba block). Mamba's "content-based reasoning" allows it to focus on specific parts of an input depending on the current token. Mamba also uses a new hardware-aware parallel algorithm to compensate for the lack of convolutional operations. As a result, Mamba has fast inference and can scale to very long sequences.

You can find all the original Mamba checkpoints under the [State Space Models](https://huggingface.co/state-spaces) organization.

> Click on the Mamba models in the right sidebar for more examples of how to apply Mamba to different language tasks.

The example below demonstrates how to generate text with [Pipeline](/docs/transformers/pr_37082/en/main_classes/pipelines#transformers.Pipeline), [AutoModel](/docs/transformers/pr_37082/en/model_doc/auto#transformers.AutoModel), and from the command line.

```py
import torch
from transformers import pipeline

pipeline = pipeline(
    task="text-generation",
    model="state-spaces/mamba-130m-hf",
    dtype=torch.float16,
    device=0
)
pipeline("Plants create energy through a process known as")
```

```py
import torch  
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer  

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("state-spaces/mamba-130m-hf")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("state-spaces/mamba-130m-hf", dtype=torch.float16, device_map="auto",)  
input_ids = tokenizer("Plants create energy through a process known as", return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)  

output = model.generate(**input_ids)  
print(tokenizer.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True)
```

```bash
echo -e "Plants create energy through a process known as" | transformers run --task text-generation --model state-spaces/mamba-130m-hf --device 0
```

Quantization reduces the memory burden of large models by representing the weights in a lower precision. Refer to the [Quantization](../quantization/overview) overview for more available quantization backends.

The example below uses [torchao](../quantization/torchao) to only quantize the weights to 4-bit integers.

```py
import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer, TorchAoConfig
from torchao.quantization import Int4WeightOnlyConfig

quantization_config = Int4WeightOnlyConfig(group_size=128)
quantization_config = TorchAoConfig(quant_type=quant_config)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("state-spaces/mamba-2.8b-hf")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("state-spaces/mamba-2.8b-hf", dtype=torch.bfloat16, quantization_config=quantization_config, device_map="auto",)
input_ids = tokenizer("Plants create energy through a process known as", return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

output = model.generate(**input_ids)
print(tokenizer.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
```

## Notes

- The current implementation uses the original CUDA kernels. The FlashAttention equivalent implementation is hosted in the [mamba-ssm](https://github.com/state-spaces/mamba) and [causal_conv1d](https://github.com/Dao-AILab/causal-conv1d) repositories. Make sure to install them if your hardware supports it!
- Mamba stacks `mixer` layers which are equivalent to `Attention` layers. You can find the main logic of Mamba in the `MambaMixer` class.
- The example below demonstrates how to fine-tune Mamba with [PEFT](https://huggingface.co/docs/peft).

  ```py
  from datasets import load_dataset
  from trl import SFTConfig, SFTTrainer
  from peft import LoraConfig

  model_id = "state-spaces/mamba-130m-hf"
  dataset = load_dataset("Abirate/english_quotes", split="train")
  training_args = SFTConfig(dataset_text_field="quote")
  lora_config =  LoraConfig(target_modules=["x_proj", "embeddings", "in_proj", "out_proj"])
  trainer = SFTTrainer(
      model=model_id,
      args=training_args,
      train_dataset=dataset,
      peft_config=lora_config,
  )
  trainer.train()
   ```

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a [MambaModel](/docs/transformers/pr_37082/en/model_doc/mamba#transformers.MambaModel). It is used to instantiate a MAMBA
model according to the specified arguments, defining the model architecture. Instantiating a configuration with the

Configuration objects inherit from [PreTrainedConfig](/docs/transformers/pr_37082/en/main_classes/configuration#transformers.PreTrainedConfig) and can be used to control the model outputs. Read the
documentation from [PreTrainedConfig](/docs/transformers/pr_37082/en/main_classes/configuration#transformers.PreTrainedConfig) for more information.

Example:

```python
>>> from transformers import MambaConfig, MambaModel

  [What are input IDs?](../glossary#input-ids)
- **inputs_embeds** (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)`, *optional*) --
  Optionally, instead of passing `input_ids` you can choose to directly pass an embedded representation. This
  is useful if you want more control over how to convert `input_ids` indices into associated vectors than the
  model's internal embedding lookup matrix.
- **cache_params** (`MambaCache`, *optional*) --
  If passed along, the model uses the previous state in all the blocks (which will give the output for the
  `input_ids` provided as if the model add `state_input_ids + input_ids` as context).

  If set to `True`, the `cache_params` is returned and can be used to quickly generate the next logits.

  Whether or not to return the hidden states of all layers. See `hidden_states` under returned tensors for
  more detail.

- **cache_position** (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(sequence_length)`, *optional*) --
  Indices depicting the position of the input sequence tokens in the sequence. Contrarily to `position_ids`,
  this tensor is not affected by padding. It is used to update the cache in the correct position and to infer
  the complete sequence length.
- **attention_mask** (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, *optional*) --
  Mask to avoid performing attention on padding token indices. Mask values selected in `[0, 1]`:

  - 1 for tokens that are **not masked**,

the latter silently ignores them.

  Hidden-states of the model at the output of each layer plus the optional initial embedding outputs.
