+## Background Mode (non-OpenAI models)
+
+LiteLLM supports background mode for non-OpenAI models. This allows you to make a request and get a response ID immediately, and then poll for the response later.
+
+Requirements:
+- Redis cache must be enabled
+
+### Usage 
+
+1. Setup config.yaml
+
+```yaml
+model_list:
+  - model_name: claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929
+    litellm_params:
+      model: anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929
 
 
+litellm_settings:
+  cache: true
+  cache_params:
+    type: redis
+    ttl: 3600
+    host: "127.0.0.1"
+    port: "6379"
+  responses:
+    background_mode:
+      # polling_via_cache can be:
+      # - "all" (enable for all providers)
+      # - ["openai", "bedrock"] (list of specific providers)
+      polling_via_cache: "all"
+      ttl: 3600
+```
 
+polling_via_cache can be:
+- "all" (enable for all providers)
+- ["openai", "bedrock"] (list of specific providers)
 
+2. Start LiteLLM Proxy
 
+```bash
+litellm --config /path/to/config.yaml
+```
 
+3. Make request
 
+```bash
+curl http://0.0.0.0:4000/v1/responses \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk-1234" \
+  -d '{
+    "model": "claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929",
+    "input": "Tell me a three sentence bedtime story about a unicorn.",
