contents I review the state of the art of the theoretical calculations for decays mediated by $b\to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ transitions, for $\ell=e,μ$. I focus on the predictions of observables in $B\to K μ^+μ^-$, $B\to K^* μ^+μ^-$, and $B_s\to ϕμ^+μ^-$ decays, as many of these predictions are in tension with the corresponding experimental measurements. I also briefly discuss the $Λ_b\to Λμ^+μ^-$ decay and present a new calculation for this channel. Special emphasis is placed on the non-local contributions, as they are the largest systematic uncertainties in these decays. The current theoretical calculations for $b\to s μ^+ μ^-$ decays are not able to explain the tensions with the experimental measurements.
