To use Azure OpenAI embedding models, set the `EMBEDDING_AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY`, `EMBEDDING_AZURE_DEPLOYMENT`, `EMBEDDING_AZURE_ENDPOINT` and `EMBEDDING_AZURE_API_VERSION` environment variables. You can obtain the Azure OpenAI API key from the Azure.

### Usage

```python
import os
from mem0 import Memory

os.environ["EMBEDDING_AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "your-api-key"
os.environ["EMBEDDING_AZURE_DEPLOYMENT"] = "your-deployment-name"
os.environ["EMBEDDING_AZURE_ENDPOINT"] = "your-api-base-url"
os.environ["EMBEDDING_AZURE_API_VERSION"] = "version-to-use"

os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "your_api_key" # For LLM


config = {
    "embedder": {
        "provider": "azure_openai",
        "config": {
            "model": "text-embedding-3-large"
            "azure_kwargs": {
                  "api_version": "",
                  "azure_deployment": "",
                  "azure_endpoint": "",
                  "api_key": "",
                  "default_headers": {
                    "CustomHeader": "your-custom-header",
                  }
              }
        }
    }
}

m = Memory.from_config(config)
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "I'm planning to watch a movie tonight. Any recommendations?"},
