+## LLM
+
+Telnyx Inference is OpenAI-compatible, so the LLM is a thin wrapper over
+`ChatCompletionsLLM` pointed at `https://api.telnyx.com/v2/ai`. Streaming and
+tool calling work the same as any other Chat Completions provider.
+
+```python
+from vision_agents.plugins import telnyx
+
+llm = telnyx.LLM(model="openai/gpt-4o")
+```
+
+Requires `TELNYX_API_KEY` in the environment, or an `api_key` argument.
+
+Model ids come from the Telnyx catalogue at `GET /v2/ai/models` and are not
+validated locally. The default is `meta-llama/Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct`.
