# Optional (but recommended) model and system_prompt
chat = ChatOpenAI(
    model="gpt-4.1-mini",
    system_prompt="You are a helpful assistant.",
)

# Optional tool registration
def get_current_weather(lat: float, lng: float):
    "Get the current weather for a given location."
    return "sunny"

chat.register_tool(get_current_weather)

# Send user prompt to the model for a response.
chat.chat("How's the weather in San Francisco?")
