 #### Mamba Models
 
 Models using selective state-space mechanisms instead of standard transformer attention are supported.
-Models that use Mamba-2 and Mamba-1 layers (e.g., `Mamba2ForCausalLM`, `MambaForCausalLM`) are supported. Please note that these models currently require disabling prefix caching in V1.
+Models that use Mamba-2 and Mamba-1 layers (e.g., `Mamba2ForCausalLM`, `MambaForCausalLM`) are supported.
+Please note that prefix caching is not yet supported for these models.
 
 Models that combine Mamba-2 and Mamba-1 layers with standard attention layers are also supported (e.g., `BambaForCausalLM`,
-`Zamba2ForCausalLM`, `NemotronHForCausalLM`, `FalconH1ForCausalLM` and `GraniteMoeHybridForCausalLM`, `JambaForCausalLM`). Please note that

 Hybrid models with mechanisms different to Mamba are also supported (e.g, `MiniMaxText01ForCausalLM`, `MiniMaxM1ForCausalLM`).
-Please note that these models currently require disabling prefix caching and enforcing eager mode in V1.
+Please note that prefix caching is not yet supported for these models.
