ReplaySSM: Rethinking State Storage for Faster Hybrid-Model Decoding

Hybrid models interleave state-space model (SSM) layers with a few attention layers. NVIDIA Nemotron 3, Qwen3.5 through Qwen3.8, Kimi-K3, and GLM-5.3-Flash are... Hybrid models interleave state-space model (SSM) layers with a few attention layers. NVIDIA Nemotron 3, Qwen3.5 through Qwen3.8, Kimi-K3, and GLM-5.3-Flash are all built this way, with Mamba-2, Gated DeltaNet (GDN), or Kimi Delta Attention (KDA) as the SSM layer. SSM layers are designed to make decoding fast: they use a fixed-size state in place of a key-value (KV) cache that grows with… Source

Qwen3.8 27B addition in words

Simon Willison replicates Colin Frasier's experiment testing Qwen 3.8 27B and GPT models on arithmetic tasks (sum-in-words), finding systematic errors across model scales.
