Ports a minimal (non-optimized) implementation of Mamba (submitted on 2023-12), highly related to S4 (submitted on 2021-10).

In short and simple terms, Mamba is an alternative, with trade-offs, to the attention mechanism. Mamba can be used in RNNs that steps over a single sequence point at a time (instead of requiring to observe multiple sequence points at the same time, but it needs to carry the previous state over), and so it's memory and time requirements are fixed for each sequence point.

Implementation references:

This pr requires others (some of which are drafts or are useful for an app using this Module):

The commits specific to this Mamba pr are:

Tasks

  • Add an example to generate token prediction from loading the hf/state-spaces models, in the similar vein to the candle example.
    • Example in here: https://github.com/swfsql/mamba-minimal-dfdx-example - draft state.
    • Port the token de/encode arch.
    • Decide whether to download the models automatically (like the candle example), or to require the user to have the files manually in place.
    • Port the token selection mechanism.
  • Add initialization (how to determine the default initial values for a random model).
  • Be able to train (forward_mut and backpropagation). Note: This stateless interface is appropriate for training only, not for inference.
  • Add an extra stateful version for the calls, requiring the state cache alongside the usual input.
    • This requires a constant memory and time for each new token prediction. In my home computer, the mamba-130m f32 model generates ~23 token/s on the cpu.
    • Add for forward_mut for training. Note: This stateful interface is appropriate for inference only, not for training.
  • Find a way to avoid the Vec conversion near the end of selective_scan for the stateless version.
    • Add a softplus tensor operation that takes the threshold into account to avoid loss in precision. This could be an inline function, not needed to be an actual new operator.
  • Support Cuda (indirectly through the layers used, not intended to be an optimized/fused Cuda kernel).
  • Add tests.
  • Test an optimization.

Update safetensors module and naming
a832f51 
- Makes the safetensors module private.
  - Doesn't get exported on the preamble, avoiding a naming clash with the safetensors external crate.
- Change how and when the period is inserted.
  - This should make it closer to how the fields are accessed in the code.

add RMS normalization
b52932c 
- Add the try_normalize_rms related functions.
- Add the `LayerRMSNorm1D` module.
@swfsql
Add split_tensor_along method
693b699 
- Add `TrySplitShapeAlong` and `TrySplitTensorAlong`.
- Minor linting and docs fix.

TODO
- Check if the tape should be returned. If not, it can be removed from the interface.
- Add cuda kernel.
- Consider a different interface, where it could get split in more than two tensors - possibly stated on a vec.
  In this way it could get closer to the pytorch interface (chunks).

Added TryUnstack for tensors.

- Also added `from_fn` for Arrays.

Note: the interface currently requires two passes for construction, one for creating a list of tensors with NoneTape and another for putting tapes into those tensors.

Add mamba-minimal
cac2f33 
- Add stateless forward impl.
  - Efficient for training (but training is not yet implemented).
  - Input requires the entire sequence, and requires no state cache.
  - Generates one output for each input sequence.
- Add stateful forward impl.
  - Efficient for inference.
  - Input requires the last single sequence point, and requires the last state cache.
  - Generates a single output referring to the last input.

I'll prioritize moving this experiment to a separate crate, but feel free to ping in case anyone have some question or suggestion.
Edit: moved to here.
