client initialization time

[githubhkdw]

Hi,

I was running some basic benchmarking on my code and noticed that the time to initialize the client seemed overly long.

$start_time_init_client = microtime(true);
// Initialize OpenAI client
function initialize_client() {
$yourApiKey = 'YOUR_API_KEY';
if (!$yourApiKey) {
die("API key not found. Please set the environment variable 'YOUR_API_KEY'.");
}
return OpenAI::client($yourApiKey);
}
$client = initialize_client();
$end_time_init_client = microtime(true);
echo "Time to initialize client: " . (($end_time_init_client - $start_time_init_client) * 1000) . " ms\n";

Output: Time to initialize client: 4877.8939247131 ms

Is this the expected time everyone else is experiencing?

No this is far too long. Creating the client should work instantly.

Hmm very strange. I will need to go back and test.

Ended up using curl commands but I appreciate the project.
