"""
Baseline Inference Script for the Customer Support Environment.
This script runs an AI agent through all tasks and computes final scores.
It uses the OpenAI-compatible API to generate agent responses.
Environment Variables:
API_BASE_URL — Base URL for the LLM API (default: https://api.openai.com/v1)
MODEL_NAME — Model to use (default: gpt-3.5-turbo)
HF_TOKEN — Hugging Face token (no default)
LOCAL_IMAGE_NAME — Optional: local Docker image name when using from_docker_image()
ENV_BASE_URL — Base URL for the environment server (default: http://localhost:7860)
Usage:
python inference.py
