Description

I would like support the following architectures:

  • Mamba
  • MambaByte
  • Mamba-2
  • Mamba-hybrid (mamba + transformer)
  • Mamba-2-hybrid (mamba2 + transformer)

These architectures are becoming quite common now and are supported by most major LLM libraries.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by surveying the existing MLX examples and architecture implementations, then determine the scope for Mamba, MambaByte, Mamba-2, and the two hybrid variants. Done means support for each architecture is implemented and verified in the relevant examples.
