Jamba Series by AI21 Labs
The Jamba Series is AI21 Labs' family of open-source large language models designed to deliver top-tier performance in long-context handling, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and structured outputs. Built on a hybrid State Space Model (SSM)-Transformer architecture, these models achieve unmatched efficiency, accuracy, and scalability for enterprise applications. The latest addition, Jamba 1.6, sets new benchmarks in speed and quality while maintaining robust data privacy through self-hosted deployment options.
Current Models in the Jamba Series:
Jamba 1.5 Mini: Lightweight model with 12 billion parameters, optimized for speed and efficiency in tasks like customer support, document summarization, and text generation.
Jamba 1.5 Large: Advanced model with 94 billion active parameters (398 billion total), designed for complex reasoning tasks such as financial analysis and long-form text processing.
Jamba 1.6 Mini: Compact model with 1.2 billion parameters, featuring function calling and structured JSON output for efficient enterprise workflows.
Jamba 1.6 Large: High-performance model with 9.4 billion parameters, delivering superior accuracy in RAG tasks and long-context question answering with a 256k-token context window.
Key Attributes:
