@@ -186,7 +186,6 @@ When enabled, the following are added to the generated Java code:
 
 * `@NullMarked` annotations on classes and interfaces so generated types are [non-null by default](https://jspecify.dev/docs/user-guide/#nullmarked)
 * `@Nullable` annotations on nullable fields, getters, setters, and constructor parameters
-* `Objects.requireNonNull()` validation in the generated builder's `build()` method for non-null fields
 
 !!! note "Where is @NonNull?"
     Due to the presence of `@NullMarked` at the type level, we can omit the use of `@NonNull` annotations.
