Mamba-3 lands with three SSM innovations for inference-first linear models

Mamba-3 dropped with three SSM-centric innovations: trapezoidal discretization, complex-valued states, and a MIMO formulation aimed at inference-first linear models. It extends the state-space model line that underpins the growing wave of hybrid SSM architectures for long-context and agentic workloads.
