# Function to encode image to base64
def encode_image(image_path):
    with open(image_path, "rb") as image_file:
        return base64.b64encode(image_file.read()).decode('utf-8')

# Path to your image
image_path = "document_scan.jpg"
base64_image = encode_image(image_path)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="qwen-3.5-397b",
    messages=[
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": [
                {"type": "text", "text": "Analyze this document and extract the total amount in KWD."},
