State-Space Models (SSMs)

By Sivesh Sukumar on LinkedIn

Overview: Cartesia is a pioneering company in the field of artificial intelligence, specifically focusing on State-Space Models (SSMs). Founded by one of the authors of the influential Mamba paper, Cartesia has recently shifted from research to production, demonstrating the practical applications of SSMs with their first production model offered via API for text-to-speech.

Future Prospects: Cartesia is positioned to unlock a range of new use-cases and opportunities that transformers struggle with, particularly in scenarios where on-device AI is crucial. While not expected to replace transformers entirely, SSMs are set to play a significant role in the next phase of AI development.
