import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: process.env.AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY,
  baseURL: "see the platform docs"
});

const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "Moonshot",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Test one call through an AI gateway." }]
});
