## Architecture Comparison

| Model | Per-Step Time | Per-Step Memory | Training | Context | Implementation |
|-------|---------------|-----------------|----------|---------|----------------|
| Mamba | O(1) | O(1) | O(N) | ∞ | ✅ Enhanced |
| Mamba2 | O(1) | O(1) | O(N) | ∞ | ✅ Complete |

## Technical Highlights

### Selective SSM Innovation (Mamba)

The enhanced Mamba implementation includes proper selective mechanisms:

```rust
// Input-dependent discretization step
Δ = Softplus(W_Δ * x + b_Δ)

// Discretized state transition
A̅ = exp(Δ · A)
B̅ = (A̅ - I) · A^(-1) · B

// State update
h[t] = A̅ · h[t-1] + B̅ · x[t]
y[t] = C · h[t] + D · x[t]
```

### Numerical Stability

All models include safeguards for numerical stability:
- Exponential clamping to prevent overflow
- Division-by-zero protection
- Finite value validation
- Proper normalization (RMSNorm/LayerNorm)

### State Management

All models properly implement:
- `get_states()`: Extract current hidden states
- `set_states()`: Restore previous states
- `reset()`: Clear all states (including convolution history)

## Testing Results

### Unit Tests: ✅ 21/21 Passing
- Model creation tests
- Forward pass tests
- Configuration validation
- Model type identification

### Integration Tests: ⚠️ 5/9 Passing
**Passing**:
- All models creation
- All models forward pass
- Context window validation
- Model type identification
- Invalid configuration detection

**Known Issues** (to be addressed in future iterations):
- Numerical stability with extreme inputs
- State persistence verification
- Sequential causality validation

## Code Quality

## Next Steps (from TODO.md)

### High Priority
1. Fix numerical stability issues in Mamba
2. Add benchmarking suite
3. Implement weight loading from HuggingFace
4. Add examples directory

### Medium Priority
1. Performance optimization with SIMD
2. Batched inference support
3. Quantization (INT8, FP16)
4. Gradient computation for training

### Low Priority
1. Model variants (Mamba-Tiny, Mamba-Large)
2. Hybrid architectures
3. Training infrastructure
4. Model analysis tools

## Lessons Learned

### Selective SSM Implementation
- Input-dependent parameters require careful numerical handling
- Discretization must be stable across wide input ranges
- State management must include all stateful components (SSM + convolution)

### Testing Strategy
- Integration tests reveal edge cases not caught by unit tests
- Numerical stability requires extensive testing with edge inputs
- State management needs careful validation

### Code Organization
- Layer-based architecture improves modularity
- Separation of concerns (SSM kernel vs. full layer) aids debugging
- Comprehensive error types enable better error handling
