Mamba-130m

Findings

• IC-060SAE features in Pythia-160m and Mamba-130m exhibit high cross-architecture similarity with a depth-scaled correspondence
• IC-061The induction circuit in Mamba-130m is structurally analogous to the transformer induction circuit, with an off-by-one motif in SSM state writing
• IC-564The implicit attention matrices of Mamba, RWKV, and Griffin exhibit depth-dependent structure, with dependencies between distant tokens becoming more apparent in deeper layers
