  Emphasize core differentiators for long-context tasks in the README's initial description

  Why:

  CURRENT

  Samba is a simple yet powerful hybrid model with an **unlimited** context length. Its architecture is frustratingly simple: Samba = Mamba + MLP + Sliding Window Attention + MLP stacking at the layer level. Our largest model, `Samba-3.8B`, is trained on 3.2 trillion tokens from the Phi3 dataset, outperforming `Phi3-mini` on major benchmarks (e.g. MMLU, GSM8K and HumanEval) by a large margin. Samba can also achieve perfect **long-context** retrieval ability with minimal instruction tuning, while still maintaining its **linear complexity** with respect to sequence length.

  COPY-PASTE FIX

  Copy

  Samba is a simple yet powerful hybrid model designed for **efficient, unlimited context language modeling with linear complexity**, making it ideal for long-context summarization and retrieval tasks. Its architecture combines Mamba, MLP, and Sliding Window Attention to achieve this.
