 !!! warning
-    Both V0 and V1 support `Gemma3ForConditionalGeneration` for text-only inputs.
-    However, there are differences in how they handle text + image inputs:
-
-    V0 correctly implements the model's attention pattern:
-    - Uses bidirectional attention between the image tokens corresponding to the same image
-    - Uses causal attention for other tokens
-    - Implemented via (naive) PyTorch SDPA with masking tensors
-    - Note: May use significant memory for long prompts with image
-
-    V1 currently uses a simplified attention pattern:
-    - Uses causal attention for all tokens, including image tokens
-    - Generates reasonable outputs but does not match the original model's attention for text + image inputs, especially when `{"do_pan_and_scan": true}`
-    - Will be updated in the future to support the correct behavior
-
-    This limitation exists because the model's mixed attention pattern (bidirectional for images, causal otherwise) is not yet supported by vLLM's attention backends.
+    For `Gemma3ForConditionalGeneration`, `{"do_pan_and_scan": true}` is not supported in Transformers backend yet.
