 ## What is the Microsoft.Extensions.AI library?
 
 `Microsoft.Extensions.AI` is a set of core .NET libraries created in collaboration with developers across the .NET ecosystem, including Semantic Kernel. These libraries provide a unified layer of C# abstractions for interacting with AI services, such as small and large language models (SLMs and LLMs), embeddings, and middleware.

 `Microsoft.Extensions.AI` provides abstractions that can be implemented by various services, all adhering to the same core concepts. This library is not intended to provide APIs tailored to any specific provider's services. The goal of `Microsoft.Extensions.AI` is to act as a unifying layer within the .NET ecosystem, enabling developers to choose their preferred frameworks and libraries while ensuring seamless integration and collaboration across the ecosystem.

 Note also that each URL's query string is unique: examine the `iteration` parameter to see that it's incremented by one for each request. This parameter helps to illustrate that the 429 responses aren't from the first requests, but rather from the requests that are made after the rate limit is reached. The 200 responses arrive later but these requests were made earlier—before the limit was reached.
