Description
The LFM 2.5 VL model (e.g. lmstudio-community/LFM2.5-VL-1.6B-MLX-4bit) is not using ModelKit, so we do not get prompt caching for text-only prompts.
I created the will/lfm-2.5-unified branch to document the failure. Adding to ModelKit would fix.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the will/lfm-2.5-unified branch, which documents the LFM 2.5 VL failure, and locate the ModelKit integration for the lmstudio-community/LFM2.5-VL-1.6B-MLX-4bit model. Verify that text-only prompts use ModelKit and receive prompt caching; the issue is done when this model no longer bypasses ModelKit.
