Hi, In case anyone else runs into this; in running the tutorial on Mac Sequoia 15.1.1 (Python 3.9.21) Rasa Pro threw an exception:

```auto
APIError: OpenAIException - __init__ () got an unexpected keyword argument 'proxies'

```

If I remember correctly in Rasa Inspector the error surfaced as `user_input_too_long` exception or failure to start Rasa Inspector.

**Solution was to fix the version of `httpx` with:**

```auto
pip install httpx==0.27.2

```

Happy coding!

Stefan
