ExpertsInt8 Quantization Enables Jamba 1.5 Large on Single Node
By
–
To make sure Jamba 1.5 Large fits a single node, we developed ExpertsInt8, a quantization technique for MoE models. We are now able to fit the model with its entire 256K context window on a single node, without losing quality or having a complicated quantization process. [6/6]

Jamba 1.5 Models: Hybrid SSM-Transformer Architecture Innovation
By
–
The Jamba 1.5 models are based on our novel hybrid SSM-Transformer architecture, which combines the quality, speed and efficiency of both. Jamba 1.5 Mini has 12B active/52B total parameters, while Large is 94B active/398B total – the largest Mamba model ever made. [2/6]
