Looks like the jiter install is broken, have you tried reinstalling it?

[fedorowych]

Yes, I have reinstalled it many, many times.

Okay, unfortunately there's not much we can do. I recommend asking for help from the pydantic team https://github.com/pydantic/jiter

 Reinstall always resulted with the same error. The init.py program does not include jiter.py. My research indicates that OpenAI 1.53 is not dependent on Jiter so I am trying that and that instead of using Python 3.13, Python version3.11 is proven to be Stabe. I'm trying that too. 

Ther was also mention that OpenAI 1.54.3 may be using jiter internally within OpenAI and is confused with its external usage. The bottom line is, however, jiter.py is not included in the init.py program. I am new to this so please forgive any misinterpretations, errors or omissions I may have made but so far I've spent2 days and over 20 hours trying to get this work both with Gpt-4-turbo and Cursor.
