-    model: options.model,
-    messages: messages,
-    stream: true,
-    temperature: options.temperature,
-    max_tokens: options.maxTokens
-  });
-
-  for await (const chunk of stream) {
-    if (chunk.choices[0]?.delta?.content) {
-      yield { chunk: chunk.choices[0].delta.content };
-    }
-  }
-  
-  yield { done: true, tokenUsage: {...} };
-}
-```
