Just realised that… 1,5 months later… no emails nor nothing to the consumers… Not very developer friendly… Secondly, most of the API references are not updated, the examples are as minimum as possible… would really help if we could get more solid examples… with proper error handlings, (addressing no funds, busy server etc errors)… and especially, how to address streaming… the example provided is not acceptable… I am paying every month for the service, quite a lot… and would expect the support and documentation to be at least decent! Could you please provide the example in streaming… what would be a good practice to make a production ready API proxy… with the ability to ABORT (terminate the generation) at any time, like in chatGPT? I don’t think is too much to ask ---
