Out-of-date client patch

https://github.com/567-labs/instructor/blob/121f901653f92e6d718531cc2a02151d56ad5ca3/examples/resolving-complex-entities/run.py#L11

Here's the current way to patch the client:

# Initialize the OpenAI client with Instructor
client = instructor.from_openai(OpenAI())

@claude can you review all the examples that use this pattern and do instructor.from_provider() and make sure unless its not about open ai use `"openai/gpt-4o-mini"

Todo List:

• [x] Search for examples using old instructor.from_openai(OpenAI()) pattern

• [ ] Keep OpenAI-specific examples as they are (or update appropriately)
• [ ] Run linting and formatting if available
• [ ] Commit changes to the branch
• [ ] Provide PR creation link
