inf default value cannot be encoded in many languages

[andreaTP]

Hi there 👋 and thanks a lot for sharing this spec as it immensely helps!

I'm working on Kiota and while generating clients for your OpenAPI specification I faced a few issues and reported them, but, in this case, I'm convinced that the specification that can be improved.
Here you are defining the default value of an integer with the string "inf" and here I reported upstream the bug found.

Still, there is room for improvement:

• inf in languages where the integer type is translated(according to the spec) as a Long/Int64 an infinite value is not easily representable
• using inf as a valid value is only possible in languages that are using Double, BigInt or similar encodings for all of the numeric values
• inf is effectively a string here and its meaning can vary across different target languages (I'm failing to find a spec that defines this specific string as a valid integer value)

I think that a sensible default would be the value of 32768 since, according to the docs, is currently the maximum number of tokens for the biggest available model.
I'm happy to open a PR if this is the desired resolution of the issue 🙂

Just figured out that, depending on the resolution of #28 another alternative is to simply remove the default field.

Agreed, will remove the default field in an upcoming PR, thank you for flagging!

[andreaTP]

That's fine as well!
Thanks for getting back.
