 Using Pooling Models
 ====================
 
-vLLM provides second-class support for pooling models, including embedding, reranking and reward models.
+vLLM also supports pooling models, including embedding, reranking and reward models.
 
 In vLLM, pooling models implement the :class:`~vllm.model_executor.models.VllmModelForPooling` interface.
 These models use a :class:`~vllm.model_executor.layers.Pooler` to aggregate the final hidden states of the input
 before returning them.
 
 Technically, any :ref:`generative model <generative_models>` in vLLM can be converted into a pooling model
 by aggregating and returning the hidden states directly, skipping the generation step.
-Nevertheless, you should use those that are specifically trained as pooling models.
+Nevertheless, to get the best results, you should use pooling models that are specifically trained as such.
+
+We currently support pooling models primarily as a matter of convenience.
+As shown in the :code:`Compatibility Matrix <compatibility_matrix>`, most vLLM features are not applicable to
+pooling models as they only work on the generation or decode stage, so performance may not improve as much.
