### Create a chat model with ChatModel()

Source: https://guides.adobe.com/coldfusion/en/docs/coldfusion-ai-guide/create-a-chat-model.html

Creates a chat model instance using the ChatModel() function with a configuration struct. The struct sets the provider to openAi, uses the application's API key, selects the gpt-4o-mini model, and sets temperature to 0.7. This is the minimal setup required to run a first call.

```coldfusion
chatConfig = {
                PROVIDER  : "openAi",
                APIKEY    : "#application.apiKey#",
                MODELNAME : "gpt-4o-mini",
                TEMPERATURE : 0.7
