# An Empirical Study of Mamba-based Language Models |

## Overview |
|
We release the 8B-parameter [Mamba-2](https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.21060) and Mamba-2-Hybrid model (made of Mamba-2, attention, and MLP layers) trained for the paper [An Empirical Study of Mamba-based Language Models.](https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.07887). These models were trained for 3.5T tokens with a sequence length of 4K. These models can be compared to the released 8B-parameter Transformer trained on the same data with the same hyperparameters. We also release the 32K and 128K long-context extensions of Mamba-2-Hybrid. |
