Run the Example

1. Set up your virtual environment

   Mac

   uv venv --python 3.12
   source .venv/bin/activate
   

   uv venv --python 3.12

2. Install dependencies

   uv pip install -U agno openai
   
3. Export your API keys

   Mac/Linux

   export DEEPSEEK_API_KEY="your_deepseek_api_key_here"
   export OPENAI_API_KEY="your_openai_api_key_here"
   

   $Env:DEEPSEEK_API_KEY="your_deepseek_api_key_here"
   $Env:OPENAI_API_KEY="your_openai_api_key_here"
   
4. Run the example

   Save the code above as life_in_500000_years.py, then run:
