Reuse httpx connection instance instead of creating it at every request #163

@asvishnyakov

Description

@asvishnyakov

Right now you create new httpx client per request, which is probably inefficient.

It not only waste resources to initialization/finalization every time, but also establish new connection every time, preventing HTTP connection pooling.

Instead, httpx client should be initialized once [1] [2] at initialization of class which use it and then closed when class instance is no longer used, which is more efficient.

OpenAI doing exactly that for their client:
