This paper provides a comprehensive review of Structured State Space Models (SSMs), tracing their evolution from the initial S4 architecture to more advanced models like Mamba and Mamba-2. It analyzes key design dimensions such as input-dependent selectivity, the interplay between recurrent and convolutional views, diagonalization, and caching mechanisms. The review highlights SSMs' efficiency and effectiveness in long-context scenarios, positioning them as competitive alternatives to Transformers, while acknowledging Transformers' strengths in tasks requiring exact retrieval.
