+### Async Garbage Collection
+
+When opening multiple `AsyncOpenAI` clients, it is recommended to use `with` blocks to handle
+resource management instead of relying on traditional garbage collection. Failing to do this
+may result in leaked connections and degraded performance over time since the async event loop
+can be cleaned up before the `AsyncOpenAI` client has a chance to clean up its resources.
