Do you have an unreliable internet? Would setting a proxy help in this case?

yes, unreliable internet

I'm pretty sure that you can use HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY environment variables to set the http proxy. Current undici seems to support it and I'd assume the underlying openai library would be using undici.

Hmm, seems that openai is still using node-fetch, so it might not work:
