> **Warning:** This API will be replaced by [`use cache`](/docs/app/api-reference/directives/use-cache) when it reaches stability.
> **Note:**
> This API has been replaced by [`use cache`](/docs/app/api-reference/directives/use-cache) in Next.js 16.
> We recommend opting into [Cache Components](/docs/app/getting-started/cache-components) and replacing `unstable_cache` with the `use cache` directive.
