Confirm this is a Node library issue and not an underlying OpenAI API issue

• This is an issue with the Node library

Describe the bug

Typechecking code that imports openai websocket client fails with the following error:

node_modules/openai/beta/realtime/websocket.d.ts:7:19 - error TS2344: Type 'ws' does not satisfy the constraint 'abstract new (...args: any) => any'.

7 }) ? InstanceType<ws> : any;
                    ~~

  node_modules/openai/beta/realtime/websocket.d.ts:6:22
    6     WebSocket: infer ws;
                           ~~
    This type parameter might need an `extends abstract new (...args: any) => any` constraint.
