 ## Custom LLM Provider Registration
 
-To register a custom LLM provider, you need to create a class that inherits from `BaseLanguageModel` and register it using `register_llm_provider`.
+NeMo Guardrails supports two types of custom LLM providers:
+1. **Text Completion Models** (`BaseLLM`) - For models that work with string prompts
+2. **Chat Models** (`BaseChatModel`) - For models that work with message-based conversations
 
-It is important to implement the following methods:
+### Custom Text Completion LLM (BaseLLM)
 
-**Required**:
+To register a custom text completion LLM provider, create a class that inherits from `BaseLLM` and register it using `register_llm_provider`.
 
-- `_call`
-- `_llm_type`
+**Required methods:**
+- `_call` - Synchronous text completion
+- `_llm_type` - Returns the LLM type identifier
 
-**Optional**:
-
-- `_acall`
-- `_astream`
-- `_stream`
-- `_identifying_params`
-
-In other words, to create your custom LLM provider, you need to implement the following interface methods: `_call`, `_llm_type`, and optionally `_acall`, `_astream`, `_stream`, and `_identifying_params`. Here's how you can do it:
+**Optional methods:**
+- `_acall` - Asynchronous text completion (recommended)
+- `_stream` - Streaming text completion
+- `_astream` - Async streaming text completion
+- `_identifying_params` - Returns parameters for model identification

-You can then use the custom LLM provider in your configuration:
+### Using Custom LLM Providers
+
+After registering your custom provider, you can use it in your configuration:
 
 ```yaml
 models:
   - type: main
-    engine: custom_llm
+    engine: custom_text_llm  # or custom_chat_model
 ```
 
+### Important Notes
+
+1. **Import from langchain-core:** Always import base classes from `langchain_core.language_models`:
+   ```python
+   from langchain_core.language_models import BaseLLM, BaseChatModel
+   ```
+
+2. **Implement async methods:** For better performance, always implement `_acall` (for BaseLLM) or `_agenerate` (for BaseChatModel).
+
+3. **Choose the right base class:**
+   - Use `BaseLLM` for text completion models (prompt → text)
+   - Use `BaseChatModel` for chat models (messages → message)
+
+4. **Registration functions:**
+   - Use `register_llm_provider()` for `BaseLLM` subclasses
+   - Use `register_chat_provider()` for `BaseChatModel` subclasses
+
 ## Custom Embedding Provider Registration
 
 You can also register a custom embedding provider by using the `LLMRails.register_embedding_provider` function.
