 1. Switch the JVM from GraalVM (Oracle GraalVM or Community Edition) to Oracle JDK 23 or higher. You can quickly do that with using [SDKMAN!](https://sdkman.io/):
     ```bash
-    sdk install java 23.0.1-oracle 
+    sdk install java 25-oracle
     ```
 
 2. Run this benchmark with the Graal JIT compiler enabled. For that, pass the `-XX:+UseGraalJIT` option to `java`:
     ```bash
     java -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+UseGraalJIT -jar target/benchmarks.jar
