OpenAI Python library v3.16.2 fixes a memory leak in response parsing.

READY TO POST:

openai python library got a quick patch, looks like they fixed a memory leak when parsing responses. good to see these kinds of fixes.

if you're using the openai python sdk, v3.16.2 just dropped with a fix for a memory leak in response parsing. probably worth updating.
