📄 Description

This pull request introduces the ability to specify OpenAI API configurations through an environment variable OPENAI_API_CONFIGS. This allows users to override the default configuration defined in the config.py file, providing more flexibility in connecting to different OpenAI API instances or using custom configurations. The value of this environment variable is parsed as a JSON object and used to populate the OPENAI_API_CONFIGS attribute.

Target branch: Please verify that the pull request targets the dev branch.
Description: Provide a concise description of the changes made in this pull request.

Description

This pull request introduces the ability to specify OpenAI API configurations through an environment variable OPENAI_API_CONFIGS. This allows users to override the default configuration defined in the config.py file, providing more flexibility in connecting to different OpenAI API instances or using custom configurations. The value of this environment variable is parsed as a JSON object and used to populate the OPENAI_API_CONFIGS attribute.

Added

Ability to specify OpenAI API configurations via the OPENAI_API_CONFIGS environment variable.

Additional Information
