Training and inference of Mamba 1 & 2 on Apple Silicon with MPS acceleration. Works without CUDA/Triton. Supports CLI, Python API, and interactive demos.

## Installation

```bash
pip install mamba-ssm-macos
```

Or install from source:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/purohit10saurabh/mamba-ssm-macos.git
cd mamba-ssm-macos
uv sync                                     # or: pip install -r requirements.txt
```

## Quick Start

```bash

python -m scripts.download_models mamba1    # Mamba 1 (493MB)
python -m scripts.download_models mamba2    # Mamba 2 (493MB)

make run-mamba1                             # Quick Mamba 1 demo
make run-mamba2                             # Quick Mamba 2 demo
```

**Prerequisites:** macOS 12.3+ with Apple Silicon, Python 3.10+, 8GB+ RAM recommended.

## Usage

### Text Generation
```bash
python -m scripts.run_models mamba1 --prompt "The future of AI" --max-length 50
python -m scripts.run_models mamba2 --prompt "The future of AI" --max-length 30
python -m scripts.run_models mamba1 --prompt "Once upon a time" --temperature 0.8
python -m examples.02_text_generation --interactive
```

### Examples
```bash
python -m examples.01_core_modules     # Core modules usage
python -m examples.02_text_generation  # Text generation demo
python -m examples.03_training         # Training example
```

### Makefile Commands
```bash
make download-models   # Download both models
make run-mamba1        # Quick Mamba 1 demo
make run-mamba2        # Quick Mamba 2 demo
make test-quick        # Fast integration test
make test              # Full test suite
```

## Training

See `examples/03_training.py` for a full example. Snippet:

```python
import torch
from torch import nn
from mamba_ssm.modules.mamba2 import Mamba2

model = nn.Sequential(nn.Embedding(1000, 128), *[Mamba2(d_model=128, d_state=64, d_conv=4, expand=2, headdim=64, ngroups=1, chunk_size=256, device='mps') for _ in range(2)], nn.LayerNorm(128), nn.Linear(128, 1000, bias=False)).to('mps')
optimizer = torch.optim.AdamW(model.parameters(), lr=1e-4)
criterion = nn.CrossEntropyLoss()

for input_ids, labels in dataloader:
    optimizer.zero_grad()
    logits = model(input_ids)
    loss = criterion(logits.view(-1, logits.size(-1)), labels.view(-1))
    loss.backward()
    optimizer.step()
```

## Troubleshooting

**"Model files not found"** — Run `make download-models` or `python -m scripts.download_models mamba1|mamba2`.

**"MPS not available"** — Check with `python -c "import torch; print(torch.backends.mps.is_available())"`. Falls back to CPU automatically.

**Import errors** — Use module syntax: `python -m examples.02_text_generation`.
