Hi,

I've set up a PR to resolve this issue (#1913) by making the api_version argument optional and defaulting it to "2024-12-01-preview", the latest inference version.

Please feel free to review the PR and comment if anything needs to be updated or if there are further improvements you'd like to see. Your feedback is much appreciated!
