+## Presequities
+Jamba requires you use `transformers` version 4.39.0 or higher:
+```bash
+pip install transformers>=4.39.0
+```
+
+In order to run optimized Mamba implementations, you first need to install `mamba-ssm` and `causal-conv1d`:
+```bash
+pip install mamba-ssm causal-conv1d>=1.2.0
+```
+You also have to have the model on a CUDA device.
+
+You can run the model not using the optimized Mamba kernels, but it is **not** recommended as it will result in significantly lower latencies. In order to do that, you'll need to specify `use_mamba_kernels=False` when loading the model.
