`openai api audio.transcriptions.create` not working when response format is not json

[zzh1996]

Confirm this is an issue with the Python library and not an underlying OpenAI API

• [X] This is an issue with the Python library

Describe the bug

If you specify --response-format to a format other than json (like srt or vtt), the openai api audio.transcriptions.create command will fail with error

To Reproduce

1. Install openai python library version v1.6.1
2. Prepare an audio file, such as a recording saying "hello"
3. Run OPENAI_API_KEY=<YOUR_API_KEY> openai api audio.transcriptions.create -f 1.m4a --response-format vtt
4. You can see the error message

Traceback (most recent call last):

    sys.exit(main())

    return model.model_dump_json(indent=indent)
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'model_dump_json'

I can also reproduce this using python:3.12 Docker image.

Thanks for reporting! We would appreciate a PR from the community fixing this within the _cli folder, if anyone is able to!

Otherwise, we'll try to get to it when we can.
