arXiv:2606.30461v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: State space models (SSMs) have emerged as efficient linear-time alternatives to attention for long-sequence modeling. However, existing SSMs often suffer from instability and memory degradation over extended horizons due to poorly conditioned first-order updates and unbalanced update geometry. We introduce MuonSSM, a general framework that stabilizes SSM training by explicitly conditioning the geometry of memory updates rather than the recurrent transition matrix. MuonSSM augments SSMs with a momentum-based pathway and a lightweight Newton Schulz
