Fix RemoteProtocolError

in OpenAI Python SDK

Solution

This error usually indicates network instability or the server closing the connection prematurely, often due to timeouts. Implement retry logic with exponential backoff using libraries like `tenacity` around your OpenAI API calls to gracefully handle transient network issues and server-side hiccups. Additionally, consider increasing the timeout settings in your `openai` client configuration to allow more time for the server to respond.
