Jamba’s 256K Context Reveals fused_moe Kernel Issues
By
–
BTW, Since Jamba supports a 256K context with high throughput, we also stumbled upon an issue where the fused_moe kernel didn’t work well in long contexts. Others seems to have had this too, according to some other open issues

MoE Token Independence Enables Efficient Long Context Processing in vLLM
By
–
@avshalomm solved it by utilizing the fact that actually, there is no interaction between different tokens in the MoE block, so we can iterate over the long context in chunks. This was also merged and now fixed in vLLM

Jamba Model Now Supported in vLLM for Efficient Serving
By
–
Jamba support is now live on vLLM Due to its novel hybrid SSM-Transformer arch, Jamba didn’t work out-of-the-box in vLLM. our own @MorZusman worked together with @vllm_project to integrate Jamba for an efficient serving in vLLM

Jamba Modeling and Mamba Cache Management Updates
By
–
Things in this PR:
– Jamba modeling file, supporting Jamba variations
– Mamba cache management (also benefit other Mamba-based models)
– Send more request related properties to the forward pass, for model-specific implementations (including things needed for speculative decoding) -

AI Pals: Voice-Enabled Avatars Powered by Jamba’s Long Context
By
–
In 3rd: AI Pals The team built avatars that could communicate via voice-over. By leveraging Jamba’s long context, entire books were used within a single prompt, thereby decreasing latency. Built by Anto Patrex, Anand Vallamsetla, Justin Jung, & Lars Traaholt Vågnes
