Fresh installs of LLM stopped working the other day because the OpenAI Python library dropped its usage of `httpx`

, and it turned out LLM depended on that library but only installed it via a transitive `openai`

dependency.

This dot-release fixes that for the moment by pinning to `openai<3`

, and a soon-to-drop 0.33 release will switch from `httpx`

to [httpx2](https://github.com/pydantic/httpx2).
