Researchers have identified and exploited activation subspace bottlenecks within Mamba-family state-space models (SSMs) to improve their performance. By applying a simple scalar multiplication to these bottleneck activations during testing, they achieved an average performance increase of 8.27% across multiple SSMs and benchmarks without task-specific tuning. Further validation through retraining a modified architecture, dubbed Stable-Mamba, demonstrated significant long-context performance gains, confirming the identified bottlenecks' impact on hindering performance.
