• Chat completions: Use chat()->create() for text answers.
• Streaming: Use createStreamed() for real-time text.
• Vectors: Use embeddings()->create() for data search.
• Images: Use images()->create() for DALL-E.
• Audio: Use audio()->transcribe() for Whisper.

Handle errors to keep your app stable:
