couple of comments, one other question, can AudioContent be part of ChatMessageContents?

Good question! I don't think we can do that now but it's certainly something we should investigate given the Realtime API from OpenAI.

PR looks great, nice work. I'd be happy signing off if we can revert the usage change as well as the token_endpoint change.
