arXiv:2606. 09862v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The Softmax Attention operation in Transformer language models has a quadratic complexity in the sequence length and a growing state size in the form of KV cache, which becomes a bottleneck in long context scenarios.

InfoMamba is an attention‑free hybrid model that combines a minimal‑bandwidth global interface with a selective recurrent stream. The architecture replaces token‑level self‑attention with a concept bottleneck linear filtering layer and integrates it via an information‑maximizing fusion (IMF) that injects global context into the state‑space dynamics. Experiments across classification, dense prediction, and non‑vision tasks show that InfoMamba outperforms strong Transformer and SSM baselines while maintaining near‑linear scaling and competitive accuracy‑efficiency trade‑offs.

Modern language models are built primarily from Transformers, recurrent models, and their hybrid architectures. Transformers rely on token-level attention memories, while recurrent models such as state space models (SSMs) and linear attention maintain compact recurrent states.
