The g4f api cannot specify a provider! How to solve this?

[Linden10]

After looking into the code, I found out how to control which provider the api uses!

You're going to have to manually open models.py located somewhere in your g4f folder, usually located in the following locations:

System-Wide:
C:\Python[Version]\Lib\site-packages\g4f\models.py

Current User:
C:\Users[user]\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python[Version]\Lib\site-packages\g4f\models.py

Open it in notepad or whatever default text editor you use and then scroll towards "Text" section near the top, there you'll see
various models with a "best_provider" list, look at the list of providers and remove anything you don't want to use for the given
ChatGPT Model you're using.

For example, if I wanted to remove ChatGptEs when using g4f api with gpt-4o, I'll edit it out like this:

# gpt-4
gpt_4o = Model(
    name          = 'gpt-4o',
    base_provider = 'OpenAI',
    best_provider = IterListProvider([NexraChatGPT, Blackbox, AmigoChat, DarkAI, Editee, GizAI, Airforce, Liaobots, OpenaiChat])

You can customize the list if it supports the given model, otherwise just remove what you don't want the api to use!
