NVIDIA ReplaySSM speeds hybrid-model decoding
ReplaySSM stores SSM state as a checkpoint plus a buffer of recent inputs, separating output computation from state updates. NVIDIA says SSM layers can bottleneck latency up to 100K tokens of context at serving batch sizes. It is integrated into TensorRT-LLM, vLLM, and FlashInfer, and runs in production in GLM-5.3-Flash and Kimi-K3.
