// Realtime audio over WebSocket — build with -DAXLLM_ENABLE_REALTIME=ON
axllm::OpenAIResponsesClient client(axllm::object({{"model", "gpt-realtime-2"}, {"api_key", std::getenv("OPENAI_APIKEY")}}));
axllm::Value request = axllm::object({{"model", "gpt-realtime-2"}, {"chat_prompt", axllm::array({axllm::object({{"role", "user"}, {"content", "Say hello."}})})}, {"audio", axllm::object({{"output", axllm::object({{"voice", "alloy"}})}})}});
axllm::Value result = client.realtime_chat(request, nullptr);  // one merged turn: transcript + base64 PCM audio
// Realtime models also route transparently through chat(); chat() accepts input_audio parts; transcribe()/speak() do batch STT/TTS.

Set OPENAI_APIKEY in your environment before running provider-backed code.
